Algebra mistake right at the start of your work $$\Large (x^2+y^2)^2 \neq (x^4+y^4)$$

nincompoop · Answer

you did your algebra incorrectly
(a+b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2 
you did a^2 + b^2

nincompoop · Answer

(a+b)^2 = (a+b) (a+b)

anonymous · Answer

haha they are 2's!!

hartnn · Answer

lol, those beans mean 2

agent0smith · Answer

I thought that her 2's were δ at first, and she was putting δ in front of everything to show she was differentiating. Was a while before I realized it was a 2.
