What is the derivative f(x)=0?
I searched Google. But I am having trouble figuring this out. I have the assumption that the f'(x)=0.
Anyone know??

Doing Math? Dealing with functions??
The function of "x" equals 0. So in your equation where there is an "x" you put 0 as it's value and solve. There might be more to it, but I can't remember it right now.

I know how to find derivatives, concavity, blah blah blah... but I have no idea what the answer to this is.
Word for word... the question is:
Find the derivative of f(x)=0.

Here's what dictionary.com has to say about derivative
Also called differential quotient; especially British , differential coefficient. Mathematics . the limit of the ratio of the increment of a function to the increment of a variable in it, as the latter tends to 0; the instantaneous change of one quantity with respect to another, as velocity, which is the instantaneous change of distance with respect to time. Compare first derivative, second derivative
I know I've dealt with this last semester, but I just can't remember at the moment..

God it's been way too long but I think it's infinity or zero. I could be very wrong so double check

From physics 5 series, I remembered the f(x) with multi variables was used to express velocity, and f'(x) is acceleration. Seems like it would equal zero. Only way I see that it is infinity is if the formula somehow gets derived into 1/0
