Steps Using Definition of a Derivative

To multiply powers of the same base, add their exponents. Add 2 and 5 to get 7.

$$\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}p}(3p^{7}\times 2)$$

Multiply 3 and 2 to get 6.

$$\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}p}(6p^{7})$$

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

$$7\times 6p^{7-1}$$

Multiply 7 times 6.

$$42p^{7-1}$$

Subtract 1 from 7.
