Find the first partial derivative with respect to x
Find the first partial derivative with respect to a
∂x∂y=12xa
Evaluate
y=x2×6a
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
y=6x2a
Find the first partial derivative by treating the variable a as a constant and differentiating with respect to x
∂x∂y=∂x∂(6x2a)
Use differentiation rule ∂x∂(cf(x))=c×∂x∂(f(x))
∂x∂y=6a×∂x∂(x2)
Use ∂x∂xn=nxn−1 to find derivative
∂x∂y=6a×2x
Solution
∂x∂y=12xa

Solve the equation
Solve for x
Solve for a
Solve for y
x=6∣a∣6yax=−6∣a∣6ya
Evaluate
y=x2×6a
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
y=6x2a
Rewrite the expression
y=6ax2
Swap the sides of the equation
6ax2=y
Divide both sides
6a6ax2=6ay
Divide the numbers
x2=6ay
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
x=±6ay
