Solution
The derivative of a sum/difference is the sum/difference of derivatives:
(dxd(x3−3x2))=(dxd(x3)−dxd(3x2))Apply the power rule dxd(xn)=nxn−1 with n=3:
(dxd(x3))−dxd(3x2)=(3x2)−dxd(3x2)Apply the constant multiple rule dxd(cf(x))=cdxd(f(x)) with c=3 and f(x)=x2:
3x2−(dxd(3x2))=3x2−(3dxd(x2))Apply the power rule dxd(xn)=nxn−1 with n=2:
3x2−3(dxd(x2))=3x2−3(2x)Simplify:
3x2−6x=3x(x−2)Thus, dxd(x3−3x2)=3x(x−2).
Answer
dxd(x3−3x2)=3x(x−2)A
