Derivative of 3x^2-4x+5

1. Differentiate $\left(3 x^{2} - 4 x\right) + 5$ term by term:

   1. Differentiate $3 x^{2} - 4 x$ term by term:

      1. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.

         1. Apply the power rule: $x^{2}$ goes to $2 x$

         So, the result is: $6 x$

      2. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.

         1. Apply the power rule: $x$ goes to $1$

         So, the result is: $-4$

      The result is: $6 x - 4$

   2. The derivative of the constant $5$ is zero.

   The result is: $6 x - 4$

The answer is:

$$6 x - 4$$
