It is our aim in this paper to prove the following result, which is in the spirit of Herstein's theorem. Let \(n¡Ý 3\) be some fixed integer, let R be a prime ring with \(char(R)> 4n-8\) and let D:R ¡ú R be an additive mapping satisfying either the relation \(D(x^n)=D(x^{n-1})x+x^{n-1}D(x)\) or the relation \(D(x^n)=D(x)x^{n-1}+xD(x^{n-1})\) for all \(x \in R\). In both cases D is a derivation %K Prime ring %K semiprime ring %K derivation %K Jordan derivation %K functional identity %U https://hrcak.srce.hr/index.php?show=clanak&id_clanak_jezik=297048
