Solve a/2+a/2

$$\frac{ a }{ 2 } + \frac{ a }{ 2 }$$

Differentiate w.r.t. a

$$1$$

Steps Using Definition of a Derivative

Combine \frac{a}{2} and \frac{a}{2} to get a.

$$\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}a}(a)$$

The derivative of ax^{n} is nax^{n-1}.

$$a^{1-1}$$

Subtract 1 from 1.

$$a^{0}$$

For any term t except 0, t^{0}=1.

$$1$$

Evaluate

$$a$$

Solution Steps

Combine \frac{a}{2} and \frac{a}{2} to get a.
