<p>To prove the differentiation of x/7 using the constant<a>multiplication</a>rule: Consider f(x) = x/7 We use the formula d/dx (c * f(x)) = c * d/dx (f(x)), where c is a constant.</p>

<p>Here, c = 1/7 and f(x) = x.</p>

25
<p>Thus, d/dx (x/7) = 1/7 * d/dx (x) = 1/7 * 1 = 1/7</p>
25
<p>Thus, d/dx (x/7) = 1/7 * d/dx (x) = 1/7 * 1 = 1/7</p>

<h2>Higher-Order Derivatives of x/7</h2>

<p>The first derivative is a constant, so all higher-order derivatives will be zero. For the first derivative of a function, we write f′(x), which indicates how the function changes or its slope at a certain point. The second derivative is derived from the first derivative, which is denoted using f′′(x). Similarly, the third derivative, f′′′(x), is the result of the second derivative and this pattern continues.</p>
