1. The problem is to differentiate the given equation with respect to $x$. 2. Since the equation was not explicitly provided, let's assume you want to differentiate a general function $y=f(x)$. 3. Differentiation means finding the derivative $\frac{dy}{dx}$, which represents the rate of change of $y$ with respect to $x$. 4. For example, if the equation is $y=x^n$, use the power rule: $$\frac{dy}{dx} = nx^{n-1}$$. 5. If you provide the specific equation, I can compute the exact derivative step by step.
