In differential calculus, there is no single uniform notation for differentiation. Instead, two different notations for the derivative of a function are used by the Cambridge Math Methods 1 and 2 textbook. These are Newton's f'(x) and Leibniz dy/dx.
Just wondering what people used/ use /prefer and what do teachers / VCAA test /use /prefer.
Thanks. Sigma.

just use the one given in the question e.g. They give y= something use dy/dx if they give f(x) use f'(x).
