The rate of change for an equation may simply be defined mathematically as the slope at any point.
if f(x)=4x3+2x3 then
f(x)=12x2+2 using the power rule from calculus.
For each polynomial term, multiply the exponent times the coefficient and decrease the exponent by one.
Thus for f'(x), 4x3 becomes (3×4)x31=12x2 (power rule)
f'(x) for 2x becomes (1×2)x11=2
f'(x) for -3 becomes (0×3)=0
Combine the terms (sum rule): 12x2+2
