Solve a*6a

$$a \times 6 a$$

Differentiate w.r.t. a

$$12a$$

Steps Using Definition of a Derivative

Multiply a and a to get a^{2}.

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

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.

$$12a$$

Evaluate

$$6a^{2}$$

Solution Steps

Multiply a and a to get a^{2}.

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