Yup, the derivative of x is 1.
if you need some explanation, it's the mini-chain rule thing again..
x=x^1, derivative of x= 1x^(1-1) = 1x^(0) = 1
Not a problem with the help though. I plan on being a math teacher/prof if this engineering thing doesn't work out. Hopefully I'm getting a little better at teaching.
Calculus is a really hard concept to grasp at first, but once you get it, it becomes very interesting, imo.
