Now select the d/dx form (circled below) and a blank derivative form should appear in your window.

Now put **x** in the denominator to make it **dx** and enter the desired function in the space between the brackets:

math (2x^3-3x)^4 math

Note that you can use the x power form and brackets form (circled right) in the **2D** tab to make the function look better.

You can find the value of the derivative at a particular value using the "|" symbol. This is in the OPTN section of both the MTH tab and the 2D tab. After the derivative, type |x = 2
