Question

$$8a^{2}-2a^{2}$$

Differentiate w.r.t. a

$12a$

Steps Using Definition of a Derivative

Combine $8a^{2}$ and $-2a^{2}$ to get $6a^{2}$.

$$\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}a}(6a^{2})$$

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

$$2\times 6a^{2-1}$$

Multiply $2$ times $6$.

$$12a^{2-1}$$

Subtract $1$ from $2$.

$$12a^{1}$$

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

$$12a$$
