Solve n^3-n^2-3n-4

$$n ^ { 3 } - n ^ { 2 } - 3 n - 4$$

Differentiate w.r.t. n

$$3n^{2}-2n-3$$

Steps Using Derivative Rule for Sum

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}.

$$3n^{3-1}+2\left(-1\right)n^{2-1}-3n^{1-1}$$

Subtract 1 from 3.

$$3n^{2}+2\left(-1\right)n^{2-1}-3n^{1-1}$$

Multiply 2 times -1.

$$3n^{2}-2n^{2-1}-3n^{1-1}$$

Subtract 1 from 2.

$$3n^{2}-2n^{1}-3n^{1-1}$$

Subtract 1 from 1.

$$3n^{2}-2n^{1}-3n^{0}$$

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

$$3n^{2}-2n-3n^{0}$$

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

$$3n^{2}-2n-3$$

Evaluate

$$n^{3}-n^{2}-3n-4$$
