Question

$$8a-2a$$

Differentiate w.r.t. a

$6$

Steps Using Definition of a Derivative

Combine $8a$ and $-2a$ to get $6a$.

$$\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}a}(6a)$$

The derivative of $ax^{n}$ is $nax^{n-1}$.

$$6a^{1-1}$$

Subtract $1$ from $1$.

$$6a^{0}$$

For any term $t$ except $0$, $t^{0}=1$.

$$6\times 1$$

For any term $t$, $t\times 1=t$ and $1t=t$.

$$6$$
