Given Function: We are given the function y=x7 and we need to find its derivative with respect to x, which is denoted as dxdy or y′. To find the derivative of a power function, we use the power rule, which states that the derivative of xn with respect to x is n⋅xn−1.
Applying Power Rule: Applying the power rule to our function y=x7, we differentiate it as follows:dxdy=7⋅x7−1=7⋅x6.
Final Derivative: We have found the derivative of the function y=x7 with respect to x, which is 7x6. There are no calculations to check for errors in this step as it is a direct application of the power rule.
