Your Input

Find $$$\frac{d}{du} \left(6 u + v\right)$$$.

Solution

The derivative of a sum/difference is the sum/difference of derivatives:

$${\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{du} \left(6 u + v\right)\right)} = {\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{du} \left(6 u\right) + \frac{dv}{du}\right)}$$

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 $$$c = 6$$$ and $$$f{\left(u \right)} = u$$$:

$${\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{du} \left(6 u\right)\right)} + \frac{dv}{du} = {\color{red}\left(6 \frac{d}{du} \left(u\right)\right)} + \frac{dv}{du}$$

Apply the power rule $$$\frac{d}{du} \left(u^{n}\right) = n u^{n - 1}$$$ with $$$n = 1$$$, in other words, $$$\frac{d}{du} \left(u\right) = 1$$$:

$$6 {\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{du} \left(u\right)\right)} + \frac{dv}{du} = 6 {\color{red}\left(1\right)} + \frac{dv}{du}$$

The derivative of a constant is $$$0$$$:

$${\color{red}\left(\frac{dv}{du}\right)} + 6 = {\color{red}\left(0\right)} + 6$$

Thus, $$$\frac{d}{du} \left(6 u + v\right) = 6$$$.

Answer

$$$\frac{d}{du} \left(6 u + v\right) = 6$$$A
