Find the derivative of f(x) = 6x + 2 at x = 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the derivative is 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do you get it???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well the of 6x is 6 and the derivative of any constant is zero so it's 6+0=6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

take the derivative, 6*x +2, derivative of a constant times variables is equal to a constant if and only if it doesnt have a power

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and since the derivative is constant then it will be the same at any value of x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since you dont have a variable in your final answer then x variable is useless!

oh ok i think i get it
