Differentiate x^3 + 2x
This derivative uses the power rule.
Differentiate each term separately and then combine the result.
One structured route through this exact problem.
- 1Differentiate x^3 to get 3x^2.
- 2Differentiate 2x to get 2.
- 3Combine the differentiated terms.
- 4The derivative is 3x^2 + 2.
Use these quick checks before relying on the route.
- Make sure the constant multiplier on 2x remains in the derivative.
- Check that the power on x^3 reduced by 1 and multiplied the coefficient correctly.
