Math Problem Statement
but now you're on board the spaceship #369217211, and the captain is asking to solve tricky "ZP" (Z Planet) problem (you know what it means when captain is "asking"... that's an order):
(!!! Do Not use decimals/calculator. Present fractions in an exact format, for example, 7310773107 , 2295222952)
Now, find the slope of the tangent line to the curve
at the point (1,−2)(1,-2).
!!! The challenge is that the easiest differentiation rule on Earth, ddxxn=nxn−1ddxxn=nxn-1 , on Z planet is "twisted" as the following: (ddxconst=0ddxconst=0 , and the other rules have not been changed).
