Dragomistress:
So what does the d/dx mean?

Or is the same as dy/dx?

So I use the d/dy when there is no designated letter for a value for convenience?

For example solve the derivative of: (3x+4)^3

d/dx (3x+4)^3 = 9x(3x+4)^2

Instead of writing
Let y = (3x+4)^3

dy/dx = (3x+4)^3
          = 9x(3x+4)^2

Yep that's perfect!

Dragomistress:
Now I just feel like I am abusing the forum for questions :/ but I just truly don't understand.


How do I do this using the quick formula?
