Find the Derivative - d/dx -2x^3

Problem

(d(−)*2*x3)/d(x)

Solution

1. Identify the constant and the power of the variable x in the expression −2*x3

2. Apply the constant multiple rule, which states that (d(c)*ƒ(x))/d(x)=cd(ƒ(x))/d(x)

3. Apply the power rule, which states that d(xn)/d(x)=n*x(n−1)

4. Multiply the constant −2 by the exponent 3 and decrease the exponent by 1

−2⋅3*x(3−1)

5. Simplify the resulting expression to find the final derivative.

−6*x2

Final Answer

(d(−)*2*x3)/d(x)=−6*x2
