Question

What is $\frac{dy}{dx}$?

Answer 1

Interpretation of $\frac{dy}{dx}$:

• The general form of a derivative is written as $\frac{dy}{dx}$ where $y=f\left(x\right)$
• A derivative is the instantaneous rate of change of a function with respect to a variable.
• It is the change in $y$with respect to $x.$
• Graphically it is defined as the slope of the tangent to a curve.
• The process of finding the derivative is called differentiation.
