Lesson Summary: In this lesson, you'll learn how to take derivatives of polynomial functions in calculus. Polynomials are some of the most common functions in all of math, and it is important for all calculus students to master taking derivatives of polynomials.
First, we'll explain the rules needed to take these types of derivatives, then we will work several example problems designed to build confidence and experience with this important skill in calculus.
