Answer

$\dfrac{\partial F}{\partial y}=xe^{x(x+y)}$

Work Step by Step

We have $\dfrac{\partial F}{\partial u}=e^{u+v}; \dfrac{\partial F}{\partial v}=e^{u+v}; \dfrac{\partial u}{\partial y}=0; \dfrac{\partial v}{\partial y}=x$ We apply the chain rule to obtain: $\dfrac{\partial F}{\partial y}=\dfrac{\partial F}{\partial u} \dfrac{\partial u}{\partial y}+\dfrac{\partial F}{\partial v} \dfrac{\partial v}{\partial y} \\=0+xe^{u+v}$ We are given that $u=x^2; v =xy$ Thus, $\dfrac{\partial F}{\partial y}=xe^{x^2+xy}$ Therefore, we get $\dfrac{\partial F}{\partial y}=xe^{x(x+y)}$
