Question

Find the derivative. Assume a and b are constants: Q=2aP^3+6bP^2

dQ/dP = _______

I think the constants are throwing me off...

Answer 1

6p^2 + 12p

Answer 2

I actually already tried that ^
It's wrong.

Answer 3

\[\frac{ dQ }{ dP }=6aP^2+12bP\]

Answer 4

he forgot the constants a and b

Answer 5

That's wrong too D':

Answer 6

The answer is 0

Answer 7

Since a and b are constants and derivative of constant is 0 the whole term will be 0

Answer 8

Oh, nevermind, I accidentally didn't capitalize a P.
I'm an idiot.
Thanks though!

Answer 9

@ganibl it cannot be zero
If
\[y=3x^2 \]
then \[\frac{ dy }{ dx }\neq 0\]
it is
\[6x\]
