Differential Calculus is a sub-field of Calculus that primarily focuses on how functions change as the input changes. In Differential Calculus we usually use Differentiation, or the process of finding the derivative.

Derivative represents the slope of the slope of the line tangent to a function at some point.

Long method for Derivative: Let the function be $ax^n+bx^{n-1}+cx^{n-2}+....z=0$. Find the First Derivate

$\boxed{\text{Solution:}}$
