In this video, we explore the Power Rule, a fundamental principle for finding derivatives in calculus. The Power Rule states that if you have a function of the form f(x) = x^n, where n is a real number, the derivative f'(x) can be found using the formula f'(x) = n * x^(n-1). This rule simplifies the differentiation process, making it easier to work with polynomial functions. Join us as we discuss examples and applications of the Power Rule to strengthen your understanding of calculus concepts.
