This question is based on Section 3.3. Simplify your final answers completely. Note that for Exercise 2 and Exercise 3, you do not need to state the name of the basic rules for the intermediate steps (meaning, you can apply the rules without naming them.) (EXERCISE 1).[3 MARKS]. Apply the basic rules of derivatives given in this section to find the derivative of f(x) = 4x^4 + 2x + 3. You must do one rule at a time and state each rule used.

Step 1
The power rule states that if f(x) = x^n, then f'(x) = nx^(n-1). So, the derivative of 4x^4 is 4 * 4x^(4-1) = 16x^3. Show more…
