Identify function: Identify the function to differentiate. f(x)=3x2+4x+1
Apply power rule: Apply the power rule to the first term.Derivative of 3x2 is 6x.
Combine derivatives: Apply the power rule to the second term.Derivative of 4x is 4.
Simplify derivative: The constant term's derivative is 0. Derivative of 1 is 0.
Simplify derivative: The constant term's derivative is 0. Derivative of 1 is 0. Combine the derivatives of each term. f′(x)=6x+4+0
Simplify derivative: The constant term's derivative is 0. Derivative of 1 is 0. Combine the derivatives of each term. f′(x)=6x+4+0 Simplify the derivative. f′(x)=6x+4
