Answer

Am(m,h)=0.013049717h0.3964m0.4622

Steps

Step 1 :Differentiate the function A(m,h)=0.024265h0.3964m0.5378 with respect to m using the power rule for differentiation.

Step 2 :The power rule states that the derivative of xn with respect to x is nxn1.

Step 3 :In this case, we need to differentiate 0.024265h0.3964m0.5378 with respect to m.

Step 4 :The derivative of a product of functions is given by the product rule, which states that the derivative of f(x)g(x) is f(x)g(x)+f(x)g(x).

Step 5 :Here, f(m)=m0.5378 and g(m)=0.024265h0.3964. So, we need to find f(m) and g(m) and then use the product rule to find the derivative of the function.

Step 6 :The derivative of A(m,h) with respect to m is Am(m,h)=0.013049717h0.3964m0.4622.

Step 7 :Am(m,h)=0.013049717h0.3964m0.4622
