If I have a more complicated equation and want to find its derivative using a symbolic tool, how can I do that? For example, with a simple function like F = k*x, the derivative is easy, but for more complex functions, it can be very time-consuming.
Derivative of an equation?
And if you are looking for the derivative of a function, you have to define a function, say what variable(s) the function should depend on.
In case you are looking for the total derivative of a function with two or more arguments - Prime does not provide a mean to show it in the usual way using the differentials, but you can use the Nabla operator to show all partial derivatives.
Of course you could fake it by writing
or
but the dY, dx and dP in these expressions would not be differentials but just normal undefined variables.
