Question
Given f(x,y)=3tanx·log_ey - y²e^(3x), compute f_x(x,y)
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Holding y constant: d/dx[3tanx·lny]=3sec²x·lny, and d/dx[-y²e^(3x)]=-3y²e^(3x). Summing gives 3sec²x·lny-3y²e^(3x).
Hint
Hold y fixed and differentiate each term with respect to x.
