(\partial)/(\partial x)(sqrt(8-x^2-3y^2))

\frac{\partial}{\partial x} (8 - x^{2} - 3 y^{2})

- \frac{x}{8 - x ^{2} - 3 y ^{2}}

Solution steps

\frac{\partial}{\partial x} (8 - x^{2} - 3 y^{2})

Treat

y

as a constant

Apply the chain rule:

\frac{1}{2 8 - x ^{2} - 3 y ^{2}} \frac{\partial}{\partial x} (8 - x^{2} - 3 y^{2})

= \frac{1}{2 8 - x ^{2} - 3 y ^{2}} \frac{\partial}{\partial x} (8 - x^{2} - 3 y^{2})

\frac{\partial}{\partial x} (8 - x^{2} - 3 y^{2}) = - 2 x

= \frac{1}{2 8 - x ^{2} - 3 y ^{2}} (- 2 x)

Simplify

\frac{1}{2 8 - x ^{2} - 3 y ^{2}} (- 2 x) : - \frac{x}{8 - x ^{2} - 3 y ^{2}}

= - \frac{x}{8 - x ^{2} - 3 y ^{2}}
