(\partial)/(\partial x)(1+x^4+y^4)

\frac{\partial}{\partial x} (1 + x^{4} + y^{4})

4 x^{3}

Solution steps

\frac{\partial}{\partial x} (1 + x^{4} + y^{4})

Treat

y

as a constant

Apply the Sum/Difference Rule:

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

= \frac{\partial}{\partial x} (1) + \frac{\partial}{\partial x} (x^{4}) + \frac{\partial}{\partial x} (y^{4})

\frac{\partial}{\partial x} (1) = 0

\frac{\partial}{\partial x} (x^{4}) = 4 x^{3}

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

= 0 + 4 x^{3} + 0

Simplify

= 4 x^{3}
