Why does the partial of 2y^2e^(xy^2) equal 4ye^(xy^2)?

\frac{\partial_P}{\partial_y}(2ysinxcosx-y+2y^2e^{(xy^2)}

I worked the first part no problem, but the second part I needed a little help from my calculator. This is what I got:

2sinxcosx-1+4ye^{(xy^2)}

My question is, why does the partial of 2y^2e^{(xy^2)} come out to 4ye^{(xy^2)}?

I see the where the 4y comes from, but how come the e^{(xy^2)} stays exactly the same.

I also know that \frac{d}{dx}(e^x) = e^x

Thanks!

It's a mistake in the last term of the sum.

\frac{\partial}{\partial y} 2y^2 e^{xy^2}

should be done using product rule and chain rule.

Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
