\(\bf \textit{using the power rule}\\ \quad \\
\cfrac{dy}{dx}\quad y^\color{red}{2}\implies \color{red}{2}y^{\color{red}{2}-1}\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i want the derivative with respect to x
OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
ohh
OpenStudy (anonymous):
do you know how to do that?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@jdoe0001 ?

no, don't think I know that one
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh ok
myininaya (myininaya):
\[\frac{d}{dy} y^2=2y^{2-1}\]
\[\frac{d}{dx} y^2=2y^{2-1}y'\]
Why do you have\[ y' y^2=2yy'\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i need the derivative with respect to x
myininaya (myininaya):
The derivative of what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
y^2
myininaya (myininaya):
I already gave that.
What you have is \[y'y^2=2yy'\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so i am right
myininaya (myininaya):
I think you mean to say dy^2/dx=2yy'
myininaya (myininaya):
There is a difference.

ok got it thanks
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and what would it be just for y
myininaya (myininaya):
\[\frac{dy}{dx} =y'=f'(x)=\frac{df}{dx}=\frac{d}{dx} f(x)\]
myininaya (myininaya):
\[\frac{d(y^2)}{dx}=2y^{2-1} \cdot \frac{dy}{dx}=2y \frac{dy}{dx}\]
