$f (x) = 5 x^{2}$ , $s l o p e = 30$

Step 1

Since $5$ is constant with respect to $x$ , the derivative of $5 x^{2}$ with respect to $x$ is $5 \frac{d}{d x} [x^{2}]$ .

$5 \frac{d}{d x} [x^{2}]$

Step 2

Differentiate using the Power Rule which states that $\frac{d}{d x} [x^{n}]$ is $n x^{n - 1}$ where $n = 2$ .

$5 (2 x)$

Step 3

Multiply $2$ by $5$ .

$10 x$
