(\partial)/(\partial y)(2xe^{-y})

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

- 2 e^{- y} x

Solution steps

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

Treat

x

as a constant

Take the constant out:

(a \cdot f)^{'} = a \cdot f^{'}

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

Apply the chain rule:

e^{- y} \frac{\partial}{\partial y} (- y)

= e^{- y} \frac{\partial}{\partial y} (- y)

\frac{\partial}{\partial y} (- y) = - 1

= 2 x e^{- y} (- 1)

Simplify

= - 2 e^{- y} x
