Calculus & I = Water & Oil
After explaining to B that I didn’t understand calculus at all:
B: wtf?!? i gave a numerical example!!! ^ is an exponent symbol since i don't know if there's a command to do it otherwise...so i gave you the formula of cx^b (c is just a coefficient or constant in front of the variable x, i.e. 2x...c would be 2 in this case) so in the example x^4 we have c =1 (we don't write it) and b=4 the derivative of cx^b = b*cx^(b-1) so we multiply c by b and the new exponent becomes the previous exponent minus 1....so for x^4 the derivative would be 4*1x^(4-1) = 4x^3 EASY!!!!
Me: I lost you after the 4th “!”
