Expert Solution
Step 1

Disclaimer : Since you have posted multiple question, we will sole first three questions for you.

Derivative of function f(x) = xn, is given as

f'(x)= nxn-1, where n is any real number

Derivative of the function decides whether the function is increasing or decreasing. If the first derivative is positive, function is increasing in that particular interval. If it is negative, function is decreasing for that particular interval.
