1. The problem is to identify the values of $a$, $x$, and $n$ from the given function and its derivatives. 2. The function is given as $y(x) = e^{6x^2 + 3x - 2}$. 3. From the exponent, we see the function is of the form $y = e^{u(x)}$ where $u(x) = 6x^2 + 3x - 2$. 4. The value of $a$ corresponds to the coefficient of $x^2$ in the exponent, so $a = 6$. 5. The variable is $x$, which is the independent variable in the function. 6. The value of $n$ is the highest power of $x$ in the exponent, which is $2$ (since the highest power in $6x^2 + 3x - 2$ is $x^2$). Final answers: - $a = 6$ - $x$ is the variable - $n = 2$
