(\partial)/(\partial x)(sqrt(x^2+y^2))

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

\frac{x}{x ^{2} + y ^{2}}

Solution steps

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

Treat

y

as a constant

Apply the chain rule:

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

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

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

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

Simplify

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

= \frac{x}{x ^{2} + y ^{2}}
