Math Problem Statement
If u = e^2x.siny find exact differential du.
Solution
To find the exact differential for the function , we need to compute the partial derivatives of with respect to and and apply the formula for the total differential:
Step 1: Compute the partial derivative of with respect to .
Since is treated as a constant with respect to , we apply the chain rule:
Step 2: Compute the partial derivative of with respect to .
Here, is treated as a constant with respect to , so:
Step 3: Write the total differential .
Now, combine the two partial derivatives:
Thus, the exact differential is:
