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

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

\frac{2}{x}

Solution steps

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

Treat

y

as a constant

Apply the chain rule:

\frac{1}{x ^{2} y ^{2}} \frac{\partial}{\partial x} (x^{2} y^{2})

= \frac{1}{x ^{2} y ^{2}} \frac{\partial}{\partial x} (x^{2} y^{2})

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

= \frac{1}{x ^{2} y ^{2}} \cdot 2 y^{2} x

Simplify

\frac{1}{x ^{2} y ^{2}} \cdot 2 y^{2} x : \frac{2}{x}

= \frac{2}{x}
