Find the derivative of the function f(x) = 2x^3 - x^2 + 3x.

Solution

Let's examine the image closely:

The function given is: f(x)=2x3x2+3xf(x) = 2x^3 - x^2 + 3x The problem asks for the derivative of f(x)f(x), denoted by f(x)f'(x).

The derivative provided is: f(x)=6x22x+3f'(x) = 6x^2 - 2x + 3

Now, let's compute the derivative to verify the result:

  • The derivative of 2x32x^3 is 6x26x^2.
  • The derivative of x2-x^2 is 2x-2x.
  • The derivative of 3x3x is 33.

So the correct derivative is indeed: f(x)=6x22x+3f'(x) = 6x^2 - 2x + 3

Everything in the solution is correct.
