It is a partial derivative. Apparently you haven’t taken Calc III. I figured that would be basic math for most people. It is a shock to me that a person studying to be a nurse doesn’t need a degree in math.
Never mind. I misunderstood your question. Also I was joking about the calc III is basic part
To answer your question without being a dickhead: The given x indicates the point on the curve you need to find the slope at. In other words, find the derivative and then evaluate that function at the given x.
