Find $$$\frac{d}{du} \left(3 u - 4\right)$$$.
Solution
The derivative of a sum/difference is the sum/difference of derivatives:
$${\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{du} \left(3 u - 4\right)\right)} = {\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{du} \left(3 u\right) - \frac{d}{du} \left(4\right)\right)}$$The derivative of a constant is $$$0$$$:
$$- {\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{du} \left(4\right)\right)} + \frac{d}{du} \left(3 u\right) = - {\color{red}\left(0\right)} + \frac{d}{du} \left(3 u\right)$$Apply the constant multiple rule $$$\frac{d}{du} \left(c f{\left(u \right)}\right) = c \frac{d}{du} \left(f{\left(u \right)}\right)$$$ with $$$c = 3$$$ and $$$f{\left(u \right)} = u$$$:
$${\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{du} \left(3 u\right)\right)} = {\color{red}\left(3 \frac{d}{du} \left(u\right)\right)}$$Apply the power rule $$$\frac{d}{du} \left(u^{n}\right) = n u^{n - 1}$$$ with $$$n = 1$$$, in other words, $$$\frac{d}{du} \left(u\right) = 1$$$:
$$3 {\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{du} \left(u\right)\right)} = 3 {\color{red}\left(1\right)}$$Thus, $$$\frac{d}{du} \left(3 u - 4\right) = 3$$$.
Answer
$$$\frac{d}{du} \left(3 u - 4\right) = 3$$$A
