Solution Steps

To determine if the derivative of the constant function \( f(x) = 5 \) is \( f'(x) = 0 \), we need to recall that the derivative of any constant function is always zero.

Step 1: Identify the Function

We are given the function \( f(x) = 5 \), which is a constant function.

Step 2: Calculate the Derivative

The derivative of a constant function is always zero. Therefore, we calculate: \[ f'(x) = 0 \]

Step 3: Verify the Result

From our calculation, we find that \( f' = 0 \). Thus, we confirm that: \[ f'(x) = 0 \quad \text{is true.} \]

Final Answer

The statement that the derivative of \( f(x) = 5 \) is \( f'(x) = 0 \) is \(\boxed{\text{True}}\).
