**Finding the Gradient Vector Field**

In this exercise, we aim to find the gradient vector field of the function \( f(x, y) = \ln(x + 4y) \).

### Function:
\[ f(x, y) = \ln(x + 4y) \]

### Gradient Vector Field:
The gradient vector field \( \nabla f \) of a function \( f(x, y) \) is defined as:
\[ \nabla f = \left( \frac{\partial f}{\partial x}, \frac{\partial f}{\partial y} \right) \]

### Steps:
1. **Partial Derivative with respect to \( x \):**
\[ \frac{\partial f}{\partial x} = \frac{\partial}{\partial x} \left[ \ln(x + 4y) \right] \]

2. **Partial Derivative with respect to \( y \):**
\[ \frac{\partial f}{\partial y} = \frac{\partial}{\partial y} \left[ \ln(x + 4y) \right] \]

### Input Fields:
There are two input fields to represent the components of the gradient vector:
\[ \left( \ \ \quad , \ \ \ \right) \]

Insert the solutions from the steps above into the fields to complete the problem.
