3-73.
Given
Use the Power Rule.
can be rewritten with a negative exponent.
can be rewritten with a fractional exponent.
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 .
