Answer:
We wouldn't use the power rule for this function.
We would, however, use the rule of multiplication by constant.
In general:
d
d
x
(
c
f
)
=
c
⋅
d
d
x
f
Also, keep in mind that:
d
d
x
(
c
)
=
0
Similarly, your function in these terms would look like:
f
(
x
)
=
c
1
f
−
c
2
Where:
c
1
=
1
2
and
c
2
=
1
3
∴
d
d
x
(
1
2
x
−
1
3
)
=
1
2
⋅
1
−
0
=
1
2
