まとめノート

1. The pattern of repeated differentiation of $x^n$
  Write out $Dx^n = nx^{n-1}$ , $D^2x^n = n(n-1)x^{n-2}$ and $D^3x^n = n(n-1)(n-2)x^{n-3}$ , recording how the exponent and the front factor move at each step.
2. The constant $D^nx^n = n!$
  Carry the count to $D^{n-1}x^n = n(n-1)\cdots 2 \cdot x$ and one step further to $n!$ , then check the small cases $D^2x^2 = 2$ , $D^3x^3 = 6$ , $D^4x^4 = 24$ .
3. Proof by mathematical induction
  Write the base case $Dx = 1 = 1!$ , then the step $D^{n+1}x^{n+1} = D^n((n+1)x^n) = (n+1)D^nx^n = (n+1)n! = (n+1)!$ .
4. One differentiation too many, $D^{n+1}x^n = 0$
  Record the result $D^{n+1}x^n = 0$ together with the one-line argument that settles it.
