Question
What is the derivative of \( y = 3x^2 + 2 \) with respect to \( x \)?
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Using the power rule, the derivative of ( x^n ) is ( nx^{n-1} ). For ( 3x^2 ), it is ( 3 \cdot 2x = 6x ). The derivative of a constant like 2 is 0.
Hint
Apply the power rule to each term individually.
