Didn't think you guys would see 3x. Nice eyesight. xD!

You can ignore all the numbers without an x (because the derivative of a number without a variable is 0) and just work with the 3x.
this is a tiny derivative, so you can take the power of the x and subtract 1 from it...
3x^(1-1) =3x^0
which leaves you with 3 multiplyed by 1
So, the answer is 3

This is a string equation. The answer will be a number, a constant. The derivative of ALL numbers is 0, no matter how big or long the equation is.

Gee, isn't that a lot of work for nothing, for that is what the derivitive is for a constant, regardless of the number of terms (I assume the "3x" is an error). If not, the answer d(function)/dx is 3.

3..
the numbers will add up to some number, whose derivative will be zero.. however the term 3x will result in
d/dx of 3x = 3

3 - there is only one term that is dependent on x
