Find the Derivative - d/dx f(x)=x^3-12x

Problem

d()/d(x)*(x3−12*x)

Solution

1. Identify the function to be differentiated, which is ƒ(x)=x3−12*x

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

3. Apply the power rule to the first term, x3 which gives 3*x(3−1)=3*x2

4. Apply the power rule to the second term, −12*x which gives −12*(1)*x(1−1)=−12

5. Combine the results to find the final derivative.

Final Answer

(d(x3)−12*x)/d(x)=3*x2−12
