To differentiate the function xY2 with respect to x, we apply the quotient rule
step 2
The quotient rule states that (gf)′=g2f′g−fg′, where f=Y2 and g=x. Since Y is treated as a constant with respect to x, f′=0
step 3
Applying the quotient rule, we get dxd(xY2)=x20⋅x−Y2⋅1
step 4
Simplifying the expression, we obtain −x2Y2, assuming x=0
Answer
−x2Y2
Key Concept
Differentiation using the quotient rule
Explanation
The quotient rule is used to differentiate ratios of functions, and in this case, it simplifies to −x2Y2 because the derivative of Y2 with respect to x is zero.
