Apply Power Rule: To find the derivative of x9 with respect to x, we use the power rule for differentiation. The power rule states that if f(x)=xn, then f′(x)=nxn−1.
Calculate Derivative: Applying the power rule to x9, we get the derivative as 9×x9−1=9×x8.
Final Result: There is no need to simplify further, as 9×x8 is already in its simplest form.
