It all depends on what the equation is.
Otherwise, it's y' (y prime).

There should not be any y in the derivative itself since y or y(x) is the function whose derivative you are finding.
The derivative with respect to 'x' is 4y3 . The derivative with respect to 'y' is 12xy2 .
assuming that you are referring to a function: f(y) = y×y or better put: f(y) = y2 Then it's derivative would be: f'(y) = 2y
in respect to y 2y*3-y collecting the three times the coefficient of y which is 2 6y-y 6y-y=5y the derivative of 5y in respect to y is 5.
if y=aex+be2x+ce3x then its derivative dy/dx or y' is: y'=aex+2be2x+3ce3x
