Derivative of x^3 - 3*x^2

The calculator will find the derivative of

x^{3} - 3 x^{2}

, with steps shown.

Your Input

Find $\frac{d}{dx} \left(x^{3} - 3 x^{2}\right)$ .

Solution

The derivative of a sum/difference is the sum/difference of derivatives:

{\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{dx} \left(x^{3} - 3 x^{2}\right)\right)} = {\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{dx} \left(x^{3}\right) - \frac{d}{dx} \left(3 x^{2}\right)\right)}

Apply the power rule $\frac{d}{dx} \left(x^{n}\right) = n x^{n - 1}$ with $n = 3$ :

{\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{dx} \left(x^{3}\right)\right)} - \frac{d}{dx} \left(3 x^{2}\right) = {\color{red}\left(3 x^{2}\right)} - \frac{d}{dx} \left(3 x^{2}\right)

Apply the constant multiple rule $\frac{d}{dx} \left(c f{\left(x \right)}\right) = c \frac{d}{dx} \left(f{\left(x \right)}\right)$ with $c = 3$ and $f{\left(x \right)} = x^{2}$ :

3 x^{2} - {\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{dx} \left(3 x^{2}\right)\right)} = 3 x^{2} - {\color{red}\left(3 \frac{d}{dx} \left(x^{2}\right)\right)}

Apply the power rule $\frac{d}{dx} \left(x^{n}\right) = n x^{n - 1}$ with $n = 2$ :

3 x^{2} - 3 {\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{dx} \left(x^{2}\right)\right)} = 3 x^{2} - 3 {\color{red}\left(2 x\right)}

Simplify:

3 x^{2} - 6 x = 3 x \left(x - 2\right)

Thus, $\frac{d}{dx} \left(x^{3} - 3 x^{2}\right) = 3 x \left(x - 2\right)$ .

Answer

$\frac{d}{dx} \left(x^{3} - 3 x^{2}\right) = 3 x \left(x - 2\right)$ A
