OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know the power rule?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nx^n-1 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is the power rule

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes so you use the power rule on each term

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 3x^2 it is raised to 2 so you multiply by 2 and decrease the exponent by 1 so you have\[2*3x ^{2-1}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you understand?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh okay. I understand. Thanks.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what do you have for the final answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6x-2
