Question

How would I set this up?
f(x) = -3x^2-2x+1

Answer 1

what you want to setup? derivative?

Answer 2

looks set up to me

Answer 3

yes, the derivative.

Answer 4

-6x-2

Answer 5

f'(x)=-(6x+2)

Answer 6

straight forward application of the "power rule"
\[\frac{d}{dx}[x^n]=nx^{n-1}\]

Answer 7

also
\[(cf)'=cf'\] for a constant c, and
\[(f+g)'=f'+g'\] meaning you can take the derivative term by term
