Identify function: Identify the function to differentiate. y=4x2−16x
Differentiate terms: Differentiate each term separately using basic power rules.For 4x2, the derivative is 8x (since dxd of xn=nxn−1 where n=2).For −16x, the derivative is −16 (since dxd of x=1).
Combine derivatives: Combine the derivatives of each term. dxdy=8x−16
