Explanation:
If y = some function of x (in other words if y is equal to an expression containing numbers and x's), then the derivative of y (with respect to x) is written dy/dx, pronounced "dee y by dee x" .
Differentiating x to the power of something
1) If y = xn, dy/dx = nxn-1
2) If y = kxn, dy/dx = nkxn-1(where k is a constant- in other words a number)
Therefore to differentiate x to the power of something you bring the power down to in front of the x, and then reduce the power by one.
Examples
If y = x4, dy/dx = 4x3
If y = 2x4, dy/dx = 8x3
If y = x5 + 2x-3, dy/dx = 5x4 - 6x-4
