This process is called differentiation. To solve for the
(dy)/(dx) of an equation, the general formula is
ax^(a-1). The notation could also be written as
y' or
f'(x). Let's solve the equation here.


y = 3x^(2) + 5x - 6\\y' = (2 * 3x^(2-1)) + (1 * 5x^(1-1)) - 0\\y' = 6x^(1) + 5x^(0) - 0\\y' = 6x + 5

Note that the derivate
y' of a constant (e.g.,
5, 8, -1, 4, 0.33) is
0
