nice name m8
and u gotta teach me how to use LaTex one time

Haha, yes I like your name too.

I gradually learnt latex through: http://www.codecogs.com/latex/eqneditor.php

I kept using the buttons to make the image, and gradually I learnt all the commands by heart, and now I just use the tex /tex editor here

There's an in built editor here? I dont see the 'function' button that they use to have....

Well you have to bound the commands with the commands

[$tex] and at the end [/tex$]

There are NO dollar signs here. I just did that otherwise it will think Im writing latex

For y=x^3 find dy/dx at x=1??

Don't use first principles. It's slow, inefficient and prone to mistakes (especially when working with higher powers).
Use this rule: if f(x)=x^n then f'(x)=nx^(n-1)

Now...
y=x^3
dy/dx = 3x^2 and now sub in x=1
= 3 X 1^2
= 3
