Delta represents a change. Therefore, "delta x" means "change in x."

1/(2*(square root of x))
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.
V(x)=Va[1- (n delta x/lambda) + n(n-1)/2! (Delta x/ lambda)^2 - (n(n-1)(n-2)/3!) (delta x/ lambda)^2 + ....)
The straight-line distance can be calculated with the Pythagorean theorem:distance = square root of (delta-x squared + delta-y squared + delta-z squared)Where delta-x is the difference in the x-coordinates, etc.On a flat surface, you only need two coordinates (x and y).
