Differentiation gradient

[IloveManUtd]

In my question:

Find the gradient of the curve y= 2+ [12/(3x-4)[sup:1nprnysn]2[/sup:1nprnysn]] at the point (2,5)

Do I differentiate 2 together with the fraction?

If you're asking whether or not you should differentiate the entire given expression, then the answer is yes - term by term.

Of course, the first term 2 is a constant, so it disappears, anyway.
