The function I am trying to partially differentiate is:
(u*exp(v) - 2*v*exp(-u))^2

Struggling to find out what the correct result is:


Maxima tells me it is:
F(v,u)/dv = 2*( u*exp(v) - 2*exp(-u))*(u*exp(v) - 2*exp(-u)*v)

http://www.wolframalpha.com
F(v,u)/dv = 2*( u*exp(v) + 2*exp(-u))*(u*exp(v) + 2*exp(-u)*v)



Not sure if either is correct?
