(\partial)/(\partial y)(x^2-2xy)

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

- 2 x

Solution steps

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

Treat

x

as a constant

Apply the Sum/Difference Rule:

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

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

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

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

= 0 - 2 x

Simplify

= - 2 x
