Steps Using Definition of a Derivative

Multiply 0 and 2 to get 0.

$$\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}(x-0x)$$

Anything times zero gives zero.

$$\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}(x-0)$$

Multiply -1 and 0 to get 0.

$$\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}(x+0)$$

Anything plus zero gives itself.

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

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

$$x^{1-1}$$

Subtract 1 from 1.
