what did you get for \(f_x\)?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what is the first step to solve this problem?

@electrokid
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Take the derivative of the function with respect to x, meaning the y will become just a variable

ill do the Fx = 4x^3 + 10x y
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what did you do? derative?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
partial derivative of "f" with respect to "x", we differentiate a s if "y" is a constant term
\[
f_x=4x^3+(5y)(2x)
\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
now when taking the partial derivative with "y", consider "x" as a constant term and give it a try

f(xy)=x^4+5x^2y
f(x)=4+10xy
f(y)=5x^2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
when you put
f(x) -> means f is a function of x
\(f_x\) -> means a partial derivative of f with respect to x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
your forgot the x^3 after the 4 but that seems correct now you just plug in the points given to you
