Identify Function: We are asked to find the derivative of the function x4y+x2y4 with respect to x. This is a partial differentiation problem because the function has two variables, x and y. We will treat y as a constant when differentiating with respect to x.
Differentiate x4y: First, we differentiate the term x4y with respect to x. Using the power rule, the derivative of xn with respect to x is nxn−1. Since y is treated as a constant, it behaves like a coefficient.(dxd)(x4y)=y⋅(dxd)(x4)=y⋅4x4−1=4yx3.
Differentiate x2y4: Next, we differentiate the term x2y4 with respect to x. Again, using the power rule and treating y4 as a constant, we get:(dxd)(x2y4)=y4⋅(dxd)(x2)=y4⋅2x2−1=2y4x.
Combine Derivatives: Now, we combine the derivatives of both terms to find the derivative of the entire function with respect to x.(dxd)(x4y+x2y4)=(dxd)(x4y)+(dxd)(x2y4)=4yx3+2y4x.
Final Result: We have found the derivative of the function x4y+x2y4 with respect to x without any mathematical errors.
