$\frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{1}{2}x^2\right)+\frac{d}{dx}\left(-2x\right)+\frac{d}{dx}\left(1\right)$
Learn how to solve differential calculus problems step by step online. Find the derivative using the product rule y=1/2x^2-2x+1. The derivative of a sum of two or more functions is the sum of the derivatives of each function. Apply the product rule for differentiation: (f\cdot g)'=f'\cdot g+f\cdot g'. The derivative of the constant function (\frac{1}{2}) is equal to zero. The derivative of the constant function (-2) is equal to zero.
