$$-46x-59$$

Differentiate w.r.t. x

$$-46$$

Steps Using Derivative Rule for Sum

Multiply 4 and 12 to get 48.

$$\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}(2x-48x-73+14)$$

Combine 2x and -48x to get -46x.

$$\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}(-46x-73+14)$$

Add -73 and 14 to get -59.

$$\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}(-46x-59)$$

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}.

$$-46x^{1-1}$$

Subtract 1 from 1.

$$-46x^{0}$$

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

$$-46$$
