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

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

4 x^{3}

Solution steps

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

Treat

y

as a constant

Apply the Sum/Difference Rule:

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

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

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

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

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

= 4 x^{3} + 0 - 0

Simplify

= 4 x^{3}
