Derivative of x^2-7x+6

1. Differentiate $\left(x^{2} - 7 x\right) + 6$ term by term:

   1. Differentiate $x^{2} - 7 x$ term by term:

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

      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: $-7$

      The result is: $2 x - 7$

   2. The derivative of the constant $6$ is zero.

   The result is: $2 x - 7$

The answer is:

$$2 x - 7$$
