Question

$$a+2\times a-1$$

Differentiate w.r.t. a

$3$

Steps Using Derivative Rule for Sum

Combine $a$ and $2a$ to get $3a$.

$$\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}a}(3a-1)$$

The derivative of a polynomial is the sum of the derivatives of its terms. The derivative of a constant term is $0$. The derivative of $ax^{n}$ is $nax^{n-1}$.

$$3a^{1-1}$$

Subtract $1$ from $1$.

$$3a^{0}$$

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

$$3\times 1$$

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

$$3$$

Evaluate

$3a-1$
