21 A level Mathematics Calculus Differentiating expressions with powers of x Part 2 Video 12

This video continues our A-level mathematics calculus series by focusing on differentiating expressions involving powers of x. We work through two detailed examples, starting with a function that requires simplification using index laws before differentiation. The process involves rewriting the expression into a form suitable for the power rule and then applying it term by term. The second example demonstrates differentiating a function that includes a square root, again emphasizing the importance of rewriting it as a power of x. We cover the step-by-step calculation for each derivative, showing how to handle fractions and negative exponents. Subscribe to @AxiomTutoringCourses for more math tutorials.
