Answer

\(\boxed{A_{m}(m, h)=0.013049717 h^{0.3964} m^{-0.4622}}\)

Steps

Step 1 :Differentiate the function $A(m, h) = 0.024265 h^{0.3964} m^{0.5378}$ with respect to $m$ using the power rule for differentiation.

Step 2 :The power rule states that the derivative of $x^n$ with respect to $x$ is $n*x^{n-1}$.

Step 3 :In this case, we need to differentiate $0.024265*h^{0.3964}*m^{0.5378}$ 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, $f(m) = m^{0.5378}$ and $g(m) = 0.024265*h^{0.3964}$. 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 $A_{m}(m, h)=0.013049717 h^{0.3964} m^{-0.4622}$.

Step 7 :\(\boxed{A_{m}(m, h)=0.013049717 h^{0.3964} m^{-0.4622}}\)
