Find the Derivative - d/dx 3x^2

Problem

(d(3)*x2)/d(x)

Solution

1. Identify the constant and the power of the variable x in the expression 3*x2

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 3 by the exponent 2 and decrease the exponent by 1

3⋅2*x(2−1)

5. Simplify the resulting expression.

6*x1

Final Answer

(d(3)*x2)/d(x)=6*x
