Explanation:
dy/dx = -12x^3 + 4x + 0
d/dx of y is dy/dx
d/dx of -3x^4 is, according to the power rule, -12x^3. The power rule dictates that one simply drops the exponent and makes it a coefficient of the variable and then subtracts one from the exponent: d/dx of x^n = nx^(n-1).
d/dx of 2x^2 is 4x (power rules again)
d/dx of 10 is 0; d/dx of a constant is 0.
In poorly formatted mathematical notation:
y = -3x^4 + 2x^2 + 10 — Original function
dy/dx = d/dx(-3x^4 + 2x^2 + 10) — Apply d/dx to both sides
dy/dx = d/dx(-3x^4) + d/dx(2x^2) + d/dx(10) — Apply d/dx to each term in the polynomial
dy/dx = -3 * d/dx(x^4) + 2 * d/dx(x^2) + d/dx(10) — Take the coefficient out of each d/dx
dy/dx = -3 * 4x^3 + 2 * 2x + 0 — Carry through with the derivative function
dy/dx = -12x^3 + 4x + 0 — Multiply through.
This is a long-winded way to do it. After you've done it for some time, you'll be able to do a problem like this in your head in about two seconds.
