Find the Derivative - d/dx x^2-6

Problem

d()/d(x)*(x2−6)

Solution

1. Apply the sum/difference rule of differentiation, which states that the derivative of a sum or difference is the sum or difference of the derivatives.

d()/d(x)*(x2−6)=d(x2)/d(x)−d(6)/d(x)

2. Apply the power rule to the first term, x2 The power rule states that d(xn)/d(x)=n*x(n−1)

d(x2)/d(x)=2*x

3. Apply the constant rule to the second term, 6 The derivative of any constant is zero.

d(6)/d(x)=0

4. Combine the results to find the final derivative.

2*x−0=2*x

Final Answer

d()/d(x)*(x2−6)=2*x
