Find the Derivative - d/dx y=x^2+4

Problem

d()/d(x)*(x2+4)

Solution

1. Identify the expression to be differentiated, which is a sum of two terms: x2 and 4

2. Apply the sum rule for derivatives, which states that the derivative of a sum is the sum of the derivatives.

3. Apply the power rule to the first term, x2 which results in 2*x

4. Apply the constant rule to the second term, 4 which results in 0

5. Simplify the resulting expression by adding the derivatives together.

Final Answer

d(x2+4)/d(x)=2*x
