Answer \( 3 e^{2 x + 1} \)
Top: the graph of f = 3e^(2x + 1)/2. A tangent line slides along it, and its slope is plotted below as it goes, tracing f' = 3e^(2x + 1).

  • gpt-oss:20b: fail (style) 2026-09-21 — Step 1 is unlabeled; it should be marked with the rule "derivative". All other steps correctly apply a single rule and are properly labeled.

Proved: SymPy reduced the difference between the two sides to zero. Checked independently: a separate method, named above, confirmed it. Checked numerically: the two sides agree at every sampled point, which is evidence, not proof. Reviewed: a model or a person read it; that is all a sentence can have.
