It looks like you're supposed to show
![u_x+u_y=u](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/xt4sdin6dqz1vg60ti6n0z72qloizhsu3b.png)
We have
![u=(e^(x+y))/(e^x+e^y)](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/6y222yn799mj9y7hyavx8gral2ouv53uao.png)
In the numerator, we have
, so that the derivative wrt either
or
is simply
. In the denominator, either
or
vanishes.
Differentiating wrt
gives, by the quotient rule,
![u_x=(e^(x+y)(e^x+e^y)-e^(x+y)e^x)/((e^x+e^y)^2)=(e^(x+y)e^y)/((e^x+e^y)^2)](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/fwil6693j6xv192wg4kjwnw7yzl7ekn24t.png)
Similarly, differentiating wrt
gives
![u_y=(e^(x+y)e^x)/((e^x+e^y)^2)](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/7wgwf0aee4u0ne1wopoiq8zgldjd6b8h7b.png)
Then
![u_x+u_y=\frac{e^(x+y)(e^y+e^x)}(e^x+e^y)^2}](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/cgvlfa535loibm2oexseoyn2btdgjd8i3l.png)
![u_x+u_y=\frac{e^(x+y)}e^x+e^y}=u](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/3ssqv5y3yr935sawxubaexaqsngglj8719.png)
as required.
