When finding the first derivative, you calculate the slope of the curve at a point by determining the ratio of delta y over delta x. You make delta x and delta y smaller and smaller; in fact, you take the limit of delta y over delta x as delta x goes to zero.
At this zero limit point, delta y is called dy, and delta x is called dx. They are also called differentials, hence the term differential calculus. They represent the rate at which x and y change at various x's and y's.
Since we are working with differentials, the process of determining the slope, also known as the first derivative, is call differentiation.

What is the second derivative of x raised to the 1 divided by x?
To calculate the derivate of a power, where both the base and the exponent are functions of x, requires a technique called logarithmic derivation. I'll leave the details to you; it is not particularly difficult. You can look up "logarithmic differentiation" in the Wikipedia for some examples.
What is the derivative of y3?
I understand this to be y3. Then the derivative is 3y2. If y is considered a so-called 'implicit function' of x then the derivative might be written 3y2 dy/dx.

What the differentiation and anti-differentiation formula?
There is no single formula for differentiation and anti-differentiation.The deriviative of a function y = f(x) is the limit of delta y over delta x as delta x approaches zero.OR:If f(x)=axn,f'(x)=(an)xn-1The deriviative of 2x3 would be 6x2.The anti-deriviative of a function is the reverse operation, i.e. the function is the deriviative of the anti-deriviative.Anti differentiation introduction:Anti differentiation is also called as integration process. It gives the reverse value of the differentiation equation. Anti differentiation is also called as anti derivative of the function. In this anti differentiation, f(x) is anti derivative of the function F(x). Anti differentiation is used for finding the area of the region under the certain curve. Anti differentiation symbol is denoted as ∫.General formula for anti differentiation:∫ xn dx = [xn + 1 / (n + 1)]+ c∫ k dx = k ∫ dx∫ udv = uv - ∫ v du∫ (w + y) dx = ∫ w dx + ∫ y dxanti-differentiation
