The derivative of 10x with respect to x is 10.

Explanation:

Let

y=10x

Differentiate y with respect to x.

(dy)/(dx)=d/(dx)(10x)

(dy)/(dx)=xd/(dx)(10)+10d/(dx)(x)[sinced/(dx)(uv)=ud/(dx)v+vd/(dx)u]

(dy)/(dx)=x(0)+10(1)[d/(dx)(const)=0;d/(dx)(x)=1]

(dy)/(dx)=10

The derivative of 10x with respect to x is 10.
