$f^{\prime}(x)=-3x^{2}-6x^{2}$

Work Step by Step

SUMMARY:$\\\\$ The Power Rule$:\ \ \ [x^{n}]^{\prime}=nx^{n-1 }\\$ Sum Rule: $\ \ \ \ \ \ [f\pm g]^{\prime}(x)=f^{\prime}(x)\pm g^{\prime}(x)\\$ Constant Multiple Rule:$\ \ \ [cf]^{\prime}(x)=cf^{\prime}(x)\\$ Constant times x:$\ \ \ \displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}(cx)=c\\$ Constant:$\displaystyle \ \ \ \ \ \frac{d}{dx}(c)=0\\$ -------------------------------- $f^{\prime}(x)=[-x^{3}-3x^{2}-1]^{\prime}$=... Sum Rule... $=[-x^{3}]^{\prime}-[3x^{2}]^{\prime}-[1]^{\prime}$=...individually: $[-x^{3}]^{\prime}=[(-1)x^{3}]^{\prime}$=... Constant Multiple Rule... $=-[x^{3}]^{\prime}$=... Power Rule... $=-(3x^{2})=-3x^{2}$ $[3x^{2}]^{\prime}$=... Constant Multiple Rule... $=3[x^{2}]^{\prime}$=... Power Rule... $=3(2x^{1})=6x^{2}$ $[1]^{\prime}$=...(constant)'...=0 $f^{\prime}(x)=-3x^{2}-6x^{2}$
