Solve 6a^2+6a^2

$$6 { a }^{ 2 } +6 { a }^{ 2 }$$

Differentiate w.r.t. a

$$24a$$

Steps Using Definition of a Derivative

Combine 6a^{2} and 6a^{2} to get 12a^{2}.

$$\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}a}(12a^{2})$$

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

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

Multiply 2 times 12.

$$24a^{2-1}$$

Subtract 1 from 2.

$$24a^{1}$$

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

$$24a$$

Evaluate

$$12a^{2}$$

Solution Steps

Combine 6a^{2} and 6a^{2} to get 12a^{2}.

$$12a^{2}$$
