Solve s= 7a - 3b - ScanMath

Simplify

s = 7 a - 3 b

Find the first partial derivative by treating the variable b as a constant and differentiating with respect to a

\frac{\partial s}{\partial a} = \frac{\partial}{\partial a} (7 a - 3 b)

Use differentiation rule \frac{\partial}{\partial x} (f (x) \pm g (x)) = \frac{\partial}{\partial x} (f (x)) \pm \frac{\partial}{\partial x} (g (x))

\frac{\partial s}{\partial a} = \frac{\partial}{\partial a} (7 a) - \frac{\partial}{\partial a} (3 b)

Evaluate

More Steps

\frac{\partial s}{\partial a} = 7 - \frac{\partial}{\partial a} (3 b)

Use \frac{\partial}{\partial x} (c) = 0 to find derivative

\frac{\partial s}{\partial a} = 7 - 0

Solution

\frac{\partial s}{\partial a} = 7
