#dy/dx (x+1) = 1#

Explanation:

Using the power rule, the power of the #x# gets multiplied by the coefficient of #x# and subtracted by 1.
So for a term like #6x^2# the differential is #2*6x^(2-1) = 12x^1 = 12x#.

For #x# the differential is simple #1*x^(1-1) = 1*x^0 = 1#

The differential of any constant is always 0.
So #dy/dx x+1 = 1 + 0 = 1#
