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

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

- 2 y

Solution steps

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

Treat

x

as a constant

Apply the Sum/Difference Rule:

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

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

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

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

= 0 - 2 y

Simplify

= - 2 y
