(\partial)/(\partial x)(x/(x^2+2y^2))

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

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

Solution steps

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

Treat

y

as a constant

Apply the Quotient Rule:

(\frac{f}{g})^{'} = \frac{f ^{'} \cdot g - g ^{'} \cdot f}{g ^{2}}

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

\frac{\partial}{\partial x} (x) = 1

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

= \frac{1 \cdot ( x ^{2} + 2 y ^{2} ) - 2 xx}{( x ^{2} + 2 y ^{2} ) ^{2}}

1 \cdot (x^{2} + 2 y^{2}) - 2 xx = - x^{2} + 2 y^{2}

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