You take the exponent and bring it down in front of the X and then......I can't remember. I think you subtract 1 from the exponent or something.

3 x ² is the DERIVATIVE of x ³
f (x) = x ³____ (f (x) is the function)
f ` (x) = 3 x ²__(f `(x) is the derivative of the function)
Some examples:-
f(x)_______f `(x)
5x^4______20x³
sin x______cos x
cos x_____- sin x
e^x_______e^x

differentiation
the new function is called the derivative of the original

it's called derivative.
this is power rule

it's a derivative.
The shortcut is... X^n = nX^(n-1)
