The video tutorial explains how to find the derivative of a function, G prime of X, using the constant multiple rule. It breaks down the process of applying the rule, factoring, and simplifying the derivative by bringing down exponents. The instructor emphasizes understanding each step but also notes that with practice, one can simplify the process without showing every step.

What rule is used to handle constants when differentiating a function?

• Product Rule

• Quotient Rule

• Constant Multiple Rule

• Chain Rule

When applying the power rule, what happens to the exponent of a term?

• It is divided by the coefficient

• It is increased by one

• It is multiplied by the coefficient

• It is decreased by one

What is the result of differentiating x^4 using the power rule?

• x^5

• 4x^4

• x^3

• 4x^3

What is the simplified form of the expression after applying the power rule and constant multiple rule?

• -2x^2 + 9x^2 - 2

• -2x^3 + 9x - 2

• -2x^4 + 9x^3 - 2

• -2x^3 + 9x^2 - 2

Why is it important to understand each step in the simplification process?

• To memorize the steps

• To perform calculations faster

• To apply the concepts to different problems

• To avoid using a calculator
