  1. can be rewritten with a negative exponent.

  1. can be rewritten with a fractional exponent.

  1. You know that the derivative of is . Well, is a transformation of . So (its slope function) will be a transformation of .

    The represents a vertical stretch. How will that transform the derivative (slope) of ? The represents a horizontal shift. How will that transform the derivative (slope) of ?

    The derivative will also be shifted units to the left and stretched by a factor of .
