How to take the derivative with respect to the sum of two variables?
$Q=Q_1+Q_2$
$Y=a\times {Q_1}^m+b\times {Q_2}^n$
Can we take the derivative of $Y$ with respect to $Q$? Can this be solved using this method?

I hardly see how, since $Y$ is not a function of $Q$. – Miguel Oct 06 '20 at 13:58

Y is a function of Q because Q_1 is a function of Q – foghorn Mar 23 '22 at 19:14
