Firstly, let's treat y as a constant and use partial differentiation (hence the name of the problem): f ′ ( x + y ) = f ′ ( x ) + 6 x y + 3 y 2 − 2 y Now let x = 0 f ′ ( y ) = f ′ ( 0 ) + 3 y 2 − 2 y Let y=1 f ′ ( 1 ) = f ′ ( 0 ) + 1 = 1 ⇒ f ′ ( 0 ) = 0 ⇒ f ′ ( y ) = 3 y 2 − 2 y ∴ f ( y ) = y 3 − y 2 + C If we substitute x = 0 into the original equation we get f ( y ) = f ( 0 ) + f ( y ) ∴ f ( 0 ) = 0 = C ∴ f ( 1 0 ) = 1 0 3 − 1 0 2 = 9 0 0
