Solve f(x)=x^3-3x^2+2x+1

$$f ( x ) = x ^ { 3 } - 3 x ^ { 2 } + 2 x + 1$$

Differentiate w.r.t. x

$$3x^{2}-6x+2$$

Steps Using Derivative Rule for Sum

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}.

$$3x^{3-1}+2\left(-3\right)x^{2-1}+2x^{1-1}$$

Subtract 1 from 3.

$$3x^{2}+2\left(-3\right)x^{2-1}+2x^{1-1}$$

Multiply 2 times -3.

$$3x^{2}-6x^{2-1}+2x^{1-1}$$

Subtract 1 from 2.

$$3x^{2}-6x^{1}+2x^{1-1}$$

Subtract 1 from 1.

$$3x^{2}-6x^{1}+2x^{0}$$

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

$$3x^{2}-6x+2x^{0}$$

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

$$3x^{2}-6x+2\times 1$$

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

$$3x^{2}-6x+2$$

Evaluate

$$x^{3}-3x^{2}+2x+1$$
