Can you rewrite your problem, including instructions?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the first derivative of 2x-y?

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

With respect to which to x or y?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

With respect to x.

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Ok, first, can you write the expression as a function of something. Is it f(x) = 2x - y?

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

f(x,y) = 2x -y?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f (x)=2x-y

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Ok, good. Since there are two terms, we can find the derivative of both of them wrt x, then add em. So, what's the derivative of 2x wrt x? What's the derivative of y wrt x?

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Derivative of -y wrt x*

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

dy/dx = 2 - dy/dx 2 dy/dx = 2 dy/dx = 1;
