<p>We explore the concept of taking the derivative of 2y with respect to x. Derivatives help us measure how a function changes in response to small changes in its input, which can be applied to various real-life scenarios, such as calculating rates of change. This discussion will focus on the mechanics and implications of differentiating 2y with respect to x.</p>

64
<p>Okay, lets begin</p>

<p>Okay, lets begin</p>
65
<p>To differentiate the function, we use the quotient rule: d/dx (2y/x) = (x * d/dx(2y) - 2y * d/dx(x)) / x² = (x * 2 * dy/dx - 2y * 1) / x² = (2x * dy/dx - 2y) / x²</p>
64
<p>To differentiate the function, we use the quotient rule: d/dx (2y/x) = (x * d/dx(2y) - 2y * d/dx(x)) / x² = (x * 2 * dy/dx - 2y * 1) / x² = (2x * dy/dx - 2y) / x²</p>
66
<p>Therefore, d/dx (2y/x) = (2x * dy/dx - 2y) / x².</p>
