differentiate the expression (x^2+y^2)^4 with respect to x use D for dy/dx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is this set equalto something?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so this is not an implicit differentiation, but rather you are looking for the partial derivative wrt x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok then you do this by thinking of y as a constant, as if you were taking the derivative of \[(x^2+4^2)^4\] for example

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you get \[4(x^2+y^2)^3\times 2x=8x(x^2+y^2)^3\]
