(\partial)/(\partial y)(x/(x+y))

\frac{\partial}{\partial y} (\frac{x}{x + y})

- \frac{x}{( x + y ) ^{2}}

Solution steps

\frac{\partial}{\partial y} (\frac{x}{x + y})

Treat

x

as a constant

Take the constant out:

(a \cdot f)^{'} = a \cdot f^{'}

= x \frac{\partial}{\partial y} (\frac{1}{x + y})

Apply exponent rule:

\frac{1}{a} = a^{- 1}

= x \frac{\partial}{\partial y} ((x + y)^{- 1})

Apply the chain rule:

- \frac{1}{( x + y ) ^{2}} \frac{\partial}{\partial y} (x + y)

= - \frac{1}{( x + y ) ^{2}} \frac{\partial}{\partial y} (x + y)

\frac{\partial}{\partial y} (x + y) = 1

= x (- \frac{1}{( x + y ) ^{2}} \cdot 1)

Simplify

x (- \frac{1}{( x + y ) ^{2}} \cdot 1) : - \frac{x}{( x + y ) ^{2}}

= - \frac{x}{( x + y ) ^{2}}

\frac{\partial}{\partial y} (- \frac{1}{4} (y^{2} + x^{2}))

x \to - 5 lim (\frac{x + 3}{x + 5})

\int 3 cos^{2} (t) d t

\frac{d ^{2} y}{d x ^{2}} + 9 y = 0

6 x^{3} - tan (x)
