Identify Function & Operation: Identify the function and the operation to be performed.We are given the function f(x)=x11 and we need to find its derivative, which is denoted by f′(x).
Apply Power Rule: Apply the power rule for differentiation. The power rule states that the derivative of xn with respect to x is n⋅xn−1. Therefore, the derivative of f(x)=x11 is f′(x)=11⋅x11−1.
Simplify Derivative: Simplify the expression for the derivative. f′(x)=11⋅x11−1 simplifies to f′(x)=11⋅x10.
Check for Errors: Check for any mathematical errors in the differentiation process.No errors were made in applying the power rule and simplifying the expression.
