Answer:
2x+b
Step-by-step explanation:
The derivative of a polynomial is the sum of the derivatives of its terms. The derivative of a constant term is 0. The derivative of ax 
n 
 is nax 
n−1 
 . 
2x 
2−1 
 +bx 
1−1 
 
Subtract 1 from 2. 
2x 
1 
 +bx 
1−1 
 
Subtract 1 from 1. 
2x 
1 
 +bx 
0 
 
For any term t, t 
1 
 =t. 
2x+bx 
0 
 
For any term t except 0, t 
0 
 =1. 
2x+b×1 
For any term t, t×1=t and 1t=t. 
2x+b
