Solve 0.8p+0.5p

$$0.8 p + 0.5 p$$

Differentiate w.r.t. p

$$1.3$$

Steps Using Definition of a Derivative

Combine 0.8p and 0.5p to get 1.3p.

$$\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}p}(1.3p)$$

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

$$1.3p^{1-1}$$

Subtract 1 from 1.

$$1.3p^{0}$$

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

$$1.3\times 1$$

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

$$1.3$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{13p}{10}$$

Solution Steps

Combine 0.8p and 0.5p to get 1.3p.

$$1.3p$$
