Important note: The text gives the formula (x^n)' = n x^(n-1), and claims it holds for all real numbers n. This is in fact true when x is positive, as we will show in class, using the chain rule. For negative x, the formula doesn't even make sense for arbitrary real n; however it is still true when n = p/q is a rational number with p and q having no common factors and q odd.

Work through the 4th Mathematica tutorial: Using Mathematica for graphing and calculating derivatives.
(There is no Mathematica work to be handed in this time, but you can use Mathematica to check your computations of derivatives.)
