Question

what is the derivate of 4x^3 - 24x^2 + 36x ?
is it 11x - 47 ??

Answer 1

or what is it?

Answer 2

the first derivative?

Answer 3

yes please

Answer 4

It is actually the first derivate... so Im trying to figure out the 2nd. Make sense? because I am confussed

Answer 5

a quick sanity check for a derivative is that it should always be one less power than the original function, so since you started with a cubic, you should end up with a quadratic.

Answer 6

So it would actually be 11x^2 - 47x ?

Answer 7

the derivative of the first function is
You obtain this by using the power rule
