Identify function: Identify the function to differentiate.Function: x2−xy+y2(x+y)2
Apply quotient rule: Apply the quotient rule: (v(u′)−u(v′))/v2. Let u=(x+y)2 and v=x2−xy+y2. u′= derivative of (x+y)2=2(x+y)(1+0)=2(x+y). v′= derivative of x2−xy+y2=2x−y.
Substitute into formula: Substitute u, u′, v, and v′ into the quotient rule formula. (x2−xy+y2)2(x2−xy+y2)(2(x+y))−(x+y)2(2x−y)
Simplify expression: Simplify the expression.Numerator: (2x3−2x2y+2xy2−2y3−2x3−2xy2+yx2+y3)Denominator: (x2−xy+y2)2
