Derivative of 8x²+7x+4

1. Differentiate $8 x^{2} + 7 x + 4$ 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: $16 x$

   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: $7$

   3. The derivative of the constant $4$ is zero.

   The result is: $16 x + 7$

The answer is:

$$16 x + 7$$
