(\partial)/(\partial x)(x^2-4xy+4y^2+2)

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

2 x - 4 y

Solution steps

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

Treat

y

as a constant

Apply the Sum/Difference Rule:

(f \pm g)^{'} = f^{'} \pm g^{'}

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

\frac{\partial}{\partial x} (x^{2}) = 2 x

\frac{\partial}{\partial x} (4 x y) = 4 y

\frac{\partial}{\partial x} (4 y^{2}) = 0

\frac{\partial}{\partial x} (2) = 0

= 2 x - 4 y + 0 + 0

Simplify

= 2 x - 4 y
