<p>The derivative of 2x³ can be found using the First Principle, which expresses the derivative as the limit of the difference<a>quotient</a>. To find the derivative of 2x³ using the first principle, consider f(x) = 2x³. Its derivative can be expressed as the following limit. f'(x) = limₕ→₀ [f(x + h) - f(x)] / h … (1) Given that f(x) = 2x³, we write f(x + h) = 2(x + h)³. Substituting these into<a>equation</a>(1), f'(x) = limₕ→₀ [2(x + h)³ - 2x³] / h = limₕ→₀ [2(x³ + 3x²h + 3xh² + h³) - 2x³] / h = limₕ→₀ [6x²h + 6xh² + 2h³] / h = limₕ→₀ [6x² + 6xh + 2h²] = 6x² (as h approaches 0) Hence, proved.</p>

<h2>Higher-Order Derivatives of 2x³</h2>

<p>When a function is differentiated<a>multiple</a>times, the resulting derivatives are referred to as higher-order derivatives. Higher-order derivatives can be complex. To understand them better, consider a car where speed changes (first derivative) and the acceleration changes (second derivative). Higher-order derivatives make it easier to understand functions like 2x³.</p>

<p>The first derivative of a function is written as f′(x), indicating how the function changes or its slope at a certain point. The second derivative is derived from the first derivative, denoted as f′′(x). Similarly, the third derivative, f′′′(x), results from the second derivative, and this pattern continues.</p>
