To find the derivative of ( x \cdot 6^{-2x} ), you can use the product rule and the chain rule of differentiation. The derivative is:
[ \frac{d}{dx}(x \cdot 6^{-2x}) = x \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(6^{-2x}) + 6^{-2x} \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(x) ]
Applying the chain rule and the power rule, the derivative of ( 6^{-2x} ) is:
[ \frac{d}{dx}(6^{-2x}) = -2 \cdot 6^{-2x} \cdot \ln(6) ]
The derivative of ( x ) is simply ( 1 ).
Substituting these derivatives back into the original expression, you get:
[ \frac{d}{dx}(x \cdot 6^{-2x}) = x \cdot (-2 \cdot 6^{-2x} \cdot \ln(6)) + 6^{-2x} \cdot 1 ]
This can be simplified as:
[ \frac{d}{dx}(x \cdot 6^{-2x}) = -2x \cdot 6^{-2x} \cdot \ln(6) + 6^{-2x} ]
So, the derivative of ( x \cdot 6^{-2x} ) is ( -2x \cdot 6^{-2x} \cdot \ln(6) + 6^{-2x} ).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
