Find the Derivative - d/dy y^2

Problem

d(y2)/d(y)

Solution

1. Identify the variable of differentiation, which is y

2. Apply the power rule for derivatives, which states that d(xn)/d(x)=n*x(n−1)

3. Calculate the derivative by bringing the exponent 2 to the front and subtracting 1 from the exponent.

4. Simplify the resulting expression 2*y1 to 2*y

Final Answer

d(y2)/d(y)=2*y
