i need to prove that this expression is correct

f'(x)=d(f(x))/dx
there is no such structure on the left side of the equation
there are a defferential in the power of n
only the d^n??

The first thing I would try is the Liebniz product rule:

[tex]\frac{d^n}{dx^n}(fg) = \sum_{k=0}^n \frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}f^{(k)}g^{(n-k)}[/tex]

where [itex]f^{(j)}[/itex] is the jth derivative of f. See if that gets you anywhere.
