Your Input

Find $$$\frac{d}{dy} \left(y z^{3}\right)$$$.

Solution

Apply the constant multiple rule $$$\frac{d}{dy} \left(c f{\left(y \right)}\right) = c \frac{d}{dy} \left(f{\left(y \right)}\right)$$$ with $$$c = z^{3}$$$ and $$$f{\left(y \right)} = y$$$:

$${\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{dy} \left(y z^{3}\right)\right)} = {\color{red}\left(z^{3} \frac{d}{dy} \left(y\right)\right)}$$

Apply the power rule $$$\frac{d}{dy} \left(y^{n}\right) = n y^{n - 1}$$$ with $$$n = 1$$$, in other words, $$$\frac{d}{dy} \left(y\right) = 1$$$:

$$z^{3} {\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{dy} \left(y\right)\right)} = z^{3} {\color{red}\left(1\right)}$$

Thus, $$$\frac{d}{dy} \left(y z^{3}\right) = z^{3}$$$.

Answer

$$$\frac{d}{dy} \left(y z^{3}\right) = z^{3}$$$A
