Solve 16g+4-17g-3

$$16 g + 4 - 17 g - 3$$

Evaluate

$$1-g$$

Solution Steps

Combine 16g and -17g to get -g.

$$-g+4-3$$

Subtract 3 from 4 to get 1.

$$-g+1$$

Differentiate w.r.t. g

$$-1$$

Steps Using Derivative Rule for Sum

Combine 16g and -17g to get -g.

$$\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}g}(-g+4-3)$$

Subtract 3 from 4 to get 1.

$$\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}g}(-g+1)$$

The derivative of a polynomial is the sum of the derivatives of its terms. The derivative of a constant term is 0. The derivative of ax^{n} is nax^{n-1}.

$$-g^{1-1}$$

Subtract 1 from 1.

$$-g^{0}$$

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

$$-1$$
