Question

Given f(x,y)=3tanx·log_ey - y²e^(3x), compute f_y(x,y)
Options
A 3tanx/y - 2ye^(3x)
Correct Answer
B 6log_ey sec²x tanx-9y²e^(3x)
C 3sec²x log_ey-3y²e^(3x)
D -3tanx/y² - 2e^(3x)
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Holding x constant: d/dy[3tanx·lny]=3tanx/y, and d/dy[-y²e^(3x)]=-2ye^(3x). Summing gives 3tanx/y - 2ye^(3x).

Hint

Hold x fixed and differentiate each term with respect to y.
