The correct answer is: $3 \tan u$
$u=\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{x^4+y^4}{x+y}\right)$
Let $v=\sin u=\frac{x^4+y^4}{x+y}$, here degree is homogeneous, so $n=4-1=3$ By Euler's theorem, we have to prove that,
$x \frac{\partial v}{\partial x}+y \frac{\partial v}{\partial y}=3 v$
$x \frac{\partial}{\partial x}(\sin u)+y \frac{\partial v}{\partial y}(\sin u)=3 \sin u$
$x \cos u \cdot \frac{\partial u}{\partial x}+y \cos u \frac{\partial u}{\partial y}=3 \sin u$
$x \frac{\partial u}{\partial x}+y \frac{\partial u}{\partial y}=3 \frac{\sin u}{\cos u}$
$x \frac{\partial u}{\partial x}+y \frac{\partial u}{\partial y}=3 \tan u$
