Find dy/dx y=x^3+6x^2

Problem

d()/d(x)*(x3+6*x2)

Solution

1. Identify the function to be differentiated, which is y=x3+6*x2

2. Apply the sum rule for derivatives, which states that the derivative of a sum is the sum of the derivatives.

3. Apply the power rule to each term, where d(xn)/d(x)=n*x(n−1)

4. Differentiate the first term x3 to get 3*x2

5. Differentiate the second term 6*x2 by multiplying the constant by the exponent to get 12*x

6. Combine the results to find the final derivative.

Final Answer

d(y)/d(x)=3*x2+12*x
