Question

Ax+ay+xa+ya
Differentiate

Answer 1

2 a

Explanation:

Possible derivation:

d/dx(2 a x + 2 a y)

Differentiate the sum term by term and factor out constants:

= 2 a (d/dx(x)) + d/dx(2 a y)

The derivative of x is 1:

= d/dx(2 a y) + 1 2 a

The derivative of 2 a y is zero:

= 2 a + 0

Simplify the expression:

Answer: 2 a
