A number with a power is still a number - a fixed constant. The differential of a constant is always 0.

To differentiate something you multiply the power on the x with the number in front of it and then reduce the power by one in this case: 12x is the same as 12x^1 so the derivitive is 12*1*x^0 which is just 12
y=ax y'=ln(a)*ax
A prime number is a whole number that has only two distinct factors: 1 and the number itself. A composite number has at least three distinct factors.
If you mean x squared + 9, you differentiate this as follows: Use the differentiation formula for a power, to differentiate the x squared. Separately, use the differentiation formula for a constant, to differentiate the 9. Finally, use the differentiation formula for a sum to add up the parts.
Any number to the power of 1 is that same number.
