Question

Find the derivative of f(x) = 2x^2 - 4x +3

Answer 1

Explanation

$2x^2-4x+3$

When taking derivatives of polynomials, we primarily make use of the power rule.

Power rule.

$\begin{gathered} f(x)=x^n \\ \text{then} \\ f^{\prime}(x)=nx^{n-1} \end{gathered}$

also, the derivate of a sum is the sum of the derivates

hence

$\begin{gathered} g(x)=f(x)+h(x)+\ldots z(x) \\ g^{\prime}(x)=f^{\prime}(x)+h^{\prime}(x)+\ldots.z^{\prime}(x) \end{gathered}$

Step 1

apply:

$\begin{gathered} f(x)=2x^2-4x+3 \\ f^{\prime}(x)=2\cdot2x^{2-1}-4(1)x^{1-1}+ \\ f^{\prime}(x)=4x^{}-4(1)x^0+3^0 \\ f^{\prime}(x)=4x^{}-4(1)(1) \\ f^{\prime}(x)=4z-4 \end{gathered}$

therefore, the answer is
