How can you solve differential equations?

OpenStudy (mr.math):

Wow, this is a very general question. If you want to know the answer, get a differential equations text book!

Books have been written on the subject :-P

Find the derivative of this question : \[y= ax^3+bx^2+cx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[3ax^2+2bx+c\]

Generally a differential equation involves finding 'y' given something that isn't in terms of y. Simply differentiating a polynomial as above is very easy. The general rule is that if f(x) = x^n, then f'(x) (or dx/dy or whatever notation you use) = nx^(n-1). Hence, omardo's solution.
