Question

if i said differentiate 
y=2x
does that mean take the derivative? or what exactly?

anonymous · Answer

yes

goten77 · Answer

well what is it then when you get dy by it self? and have something like 
dy = 2dx

abb0t · Answer

separation of variables. take the integral of each.

goten77 · Answer

something like the differential?

unklerhaukus · Answer

the derivative of a straight line is simply the slope

anonymous · Answer

Differentiate $$y=2x$$$$\frac{ dy }{ dx }=2$$$$dy=2dx$$that looks familiar

Integrate:$$\int\limits dy=\int\limits 2 \space dx$$$$y=2x+C$$

abb0t · Answer

$$\int\limits dy = \int\limits 2xdx $$

goten77 · Answer

so differentiate just means put the dy by it self?

goten77 · Answer

<.< using words that are so similar is not a good idea

abb0t · Answer

you are basically taking the antiderivative, which in essence is differentiating.
