Find the Derivative - d/dy 6y^2

Problem

(d(6)*y2)/d(y)

Solution

1. Identify the variable of differentiation, which is y and the function to be differentiated, 6*y2

2. Apply the power rule, which states that d(yn)/d(y)=n*y(n−1)

3. Multiply the constant coefficient 6 by the exponent 2

4. Subtract 1 from the exponent to find the new power of y

5. Simplify the resulting expression.

Final Answer

(d(6)*y2)/d(y)=12*y
