Constants Raised to Variables
Meaning, if x and y are variables and a is a constant,
To find 
:
Thus: 
Or more generally:
(where u is an unknown function)
For practice, find the derivative of the following:
5.1 If 
5.2 
5.3 
Conversely, 
is the reverse, remember that 
is a constant.
For example:
5.4 
5.5
