Proving the power rule by induction
Homework Statement If a is a natural number, prove by induction that y = [g(x)]^a => y' = a[g(x)]^(a-1) * g'(x) Homework Equations Let a = 2 y' = (2)[g(x)]^(2-1) g(x) = 2g(x)g'(x) Let a = 3 y' = (3)[g(x)]^(3-1) g(x) = 3g(x)^2 * g'(x) Let k be any natural...- heimdal
