In this video I do a recap on the General Power Rule but this time look at what happens when x = 0, which is not defined for logarithmic functions, and which we used in deriving the general power rule. I use the Definition of Derivatives to show the derivative of y = x^n when x = 0 is just 0 and the General Power Rule still applies.
