How do you differentiate #f(x)=7x^3-x^2+x# using the sum rule? Calculus Basic Differentiation Rules Sum Rule 1 Answer VNVDVI Apr 6, 2018 #f'(x)=21x^2-2x+1# Explanation: #d/dx(7x^3-x^2+x)=d/dx7x^3-d/dxx^2+d/dxx#, we can break up a derivative across sums or differences. Thus, #f'(x)=(3)(7)x^2-2x+1# #f'(x)=21x^2-2x+1# Answer link Related questions What is the Sum Rule for derivatives? How do you find the derivative of #y=f(x)+g(x)#?
