In this video, I showed how to find the derivative of 1/x^3 from first principles. This process involves the use of basic binomial expansion using Pascal's Triangle

I stop by your channel once in a while. If you watch some of the IVY LEAGUE university channels, you may notice that the smartest professors in the world keep their notes nearby if not in their hand. Teachers are not allowed to make mistakes like you have made several today. If you have experience in Japan and some other foreign countries, the teacher will keep their left finger on the negative sign to not forget to negate all calculations to the right. You will still be able to move your body out of the way so students can see your step by step solutions as you are working. Thank you for showing the Pythagorean Pyramid and the descending and ascending powers of the cubic expansion. Nice touch, cheers. THUMBS UP

Without proofs, carry the power of 3 to the numerator and add 1 to the power at the denominator, and negate the answer, done. But I like your solution better.

I always love seeing the full derivation process, but I wanted to drop this pointer for those who may wish for a time saver:

Since 1/x^3 is the same as x^-3 I did a little trick; I dropped the exponent in front of the x, and then subtracted one from the exponent's value, and put this -4 in the exponent position. It only works with a monomial though.


f(x) = 1/(x^3) >>function to be derived
1/(x^3) >>rewrite as a monomial
x^(-3) >>move exponent down
-3x >>find value of new exponent
-3 - 1 = -4 >>put it all together
f'(x) = -3x^(-4) >>voila, your new derivative

that little trick can save you a lot of time, but it only works in a very specific situation

I used first principles to prove the power rule in the general case for positive integer exponents, and I’m hoping that this will help me do it in the general case for negative integer exponents.

what if we have 1/x-2 how do you solve that sir

Sir u may say like if we have fraction over fraction then division on top is multiplication in bottom that easy

Of course it is a good exercise the way you do it.But a more convenient way is to set y[x]= 1/x^3 .Then, x^3*y[x]=1,
and differentiation by the product rule givesy'[x]*x^3+3*y[x]*x^2 = 0 . A short calculation then leads to y'[x]=-3 y[x]/x = -3*1/x^4.

Excellentl, Professor.
By the way, let us get the chance to learn how math knowledge is limked with Python algorithms or R algorithms.

You know you can also do common denominator on the fraction subtraction

the final answer should be -3x to the power 2 innit ?

... A good day to you Newton, I'm having your presentations as a part of my lunch time lately (lol); regarding this presentation it is indeed very smart/effective to multiply top and bottom by x^3(x + h)^3, thank you for this sort of advice. Busy day ahead today, so Newton also wishing you a pleasant day, and I'll be seeing you at the next challenging presentation ... Take care, Jan-W

help me solve this, from the first principle of differentiation, solve
f(X)=3
