Why is ꭍ2x=x^2+C?

Differentiating x2 gives dx2/dx=2x. Differentiating a constant C gives 0. d( x2 +C)/dx=dx2/dx+dC/dx=2x+0=2x. Since integration is the inverse function of differentiation, integrating 2x gives x2+C.

Differentiate x^x


I've been told that I can't, in general, differentiate functions involving absolute values (e.g. f(x) = |x|). Why is that?


How do i know where a stationary point is and what type of stationary point it is?


Can you explain the product rule when differentiating?
