Find the Derivative - d/dx 3x^2y^2

Problem

d()/d(x)*3*x2*y2

Solution

1. Identify the type of differentiation required. Since the expression contains both x and y and we are differentiating with respect to x we must treat y as a function of x denoted as y(x) This requires the Product Rule and the Chain Rule.

2. Apply the Product Rule, which states that d()/d(x)*[ƒ(x)*g(x)]=ƒ(x)′*g(x)+ƒ(x)*g(x)′ Let ƒ(x)=3*x2 and g(x)=y2

3. Differentiate the first part, 3*x2 with respect to x

(d(3)*x2)/d(x)=6*x

4. Differentiate the second part, y2 with respect to x using the Chain Rule.

d(y2)/d(x)=2*yd(y)/d(x)

5. Combine the results using the Product Rule formula.

d()/d(x)*3*x2*y2=(6*x)*(y2)+(3*x2)*(2*yd(y)/d(x))

6. Simplify the expression by multiplying the terms.

d()/d(x)*3*x2*y2=6*x*y2+6*x2*yd(y)/d(x)

Final Answer

d()/d(x)*3*x2*y2=6*x*y2+6*x2*yd(y)/d(x)
