Solve (1)a^2-001

$$( 1 ) a ^ { 2 } - 001$$

Evaluate

$$a^{2}$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 0 and 0 to get 0.

$$1a^{2}-0\times 1$$

Multiply 0 and 1 to get 0.

$$1a^{2}-0$$

For any term t, t\times 1=t and 1t=t.

$$a^{2}-0$$

Differentiate w.r.t. a

$$2a$$

Steps Using Definition of a Derivative

Multiply 0 and 0 to get 0.

$$\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}a}(1a^{2}-0\times 1)$$

Multiply 0 and 1 to get 0.

$$\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}a}(1a^{2}-0)$$

Multiply -1 and 0 to get 0.

$$\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}a}(1a^{2}+0)$$

Anything plus zero gives itself.

$$\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}a}(1a^{2})$$

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

$$2a^{2-1}$$

Subtract 1 from 2.

$$2a^{1}$$

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

$$2a$$
