Homework Statement
I can't seem to find information on this specific question i have.
So I'm taking the partial derivative of this equation for both x and y
I know how to do it for y, but I am not seeing something with respect to x
fx(x,y)= x^7 + 2^y + x^y

The Attempt at a Solution
So this is what I thought it should be 7x^6 + 1 + yx^(y-1)I guess the answer is 7x^6+yx^(y-1) according to cramster and there is no 1 in it.Why does 2^y not go to 1?
I would think because you treat y as a constant that it would go to zero and 2^0 is 1
What is wrong with my reasoning? Thanks for reading
