Example Questions

Example Question #391 : Partial Derivatives

What is the partial derivative f_x(x,y) of the function

$f(x,y)=e^{xy}$ ?

Possible Answers:

$f_x(x,y)=ye^{xy}$

$f_x(x,y)=xye^{xy}$

$f_x(x,y)=e^{xy}$

$f_x(x,y)=xe^{xy}$

Correct answer:

$f_x(x,y)=ye^{xy}$

Explanation:

We can find f_x(x,y) given $f(x,y)=e^{xy}$ by differentiating the function while holding constant, i.e. we treat as a number. So we get

$f_x(x,y)=\frac{\partial}{\partial x}e^{xy}=e^{xy}\frac{\partial}{\partial x}xy=e^{xy}\cdot y=ye^{xy}$

Example Question #392 : Partial Derivatives

Find the partial derivative f_y(x,y) for the function f(x,y)=2xy+2 .

Possible Answers:

f_y(x,y)=2y

f_y(x,y)=2x

f_y(x,y)=2xy

f_y(x,y)=0

Correct answer:

f_y(x,y)=2x

Explanation:

We can find f_y(x,y) from the function f(x,y)=2xy+2 by taking the derivative holding constant and letting be the variable. This means

$f_y(x,y)=\frac{\partial}{\partial y}(2xy+2)=2x$

Example Question #393 : Partial Derivatives

Given the function $f(x,y)=\sin x^2y$ , find the partial derivative f_x(x,y) .

Possible Answers:

$f_x(x,y)=y\cos x^2y$

$f_x(x,y)=2x\cos x^2y$

$f_x(x,y)=x^2y\cos x^2y$

$f_x(x,y)=2xy\cos x^2y$

Correct answer:

$f_x(x,y)=2xy\cos x^2y$

Explanation:

To find the partial derivative f_x(x,y) of the function $f(x,y)=\sin x^2y$ , we calculate the derivative of f(x,y) while treating as a constant. So we get

$f_x(x,y)=\frac{\partial}{\partial x}f(x,y)=\frac{\partial}{\partial x}\sin x^2y=(\cos x^2y)\cdot \frac{\partial}{\partial x}x^2y$

$=2xy\cos x^2y$

Example Question #394 : Partial Derivatives

Given the function $f(x,y)=\sin x^2y$ , find the partial derivative f_y(x,y) .

Possible Answers:

$f_y(x,y)=y\cos x^2y$

$f_y(x,y)=x^2\cos x^2y$

$f_y(x,y)=2xy\cos x^2y$

$f_y(x,y)=2x\cos x^2y$

$f_y(x,y)=y\cos x^2y$

Correct answer:

$f_y(x,y)=x^2\cos x^2y$

Explanation:

To find the partial derivative f_y(x,y) of the function $f(x,y)=\sin x^2y$ , we calculate the derivative of f(x,y) while treating as a constant. So we get

$f_y(x,y)=\frac{\partial}{\partial y}f(x,y)=\frac{\partial}{\partial y}\sin x^2y=(\cos x^2y)\cdot \frac{\partial}{\partial y}x^2y$

$=x^2\cos x^2y$

$f_x(x,y)=\frac{2x+2y}{1+x^2+y^2}$

$f_x(x,y)=\frac{2y}{1+x^2+y^2}$

f_x(x,y)=0

Correct answer:

$f_x(x,y)=\frac{2x}{1+x^2+y^2}$

Explanation:

To find the partial derivative f_x(x,y) of the function $f(x,y)=\ln (1+x^2+y^2)$ , we differentiate the function with respect to , which means we hold constant. Then we get (using the chain rule):

$f_x(x,y)=\frac{\partial}{\partial x}f(x,y)=\frac{\partial}{\partial x}\ln (1+x^2+y^2)=\frac{1}{1+x^2+y^2}\cdot \frac{\partial}{\partial x}(1+x^2+y^2)$

Explanation:

To find the partial derivative f_y(x,y) of the function $f(x,y)=\ln (2+x^2+y^2)$ , we differentiate the function with respect to , which means we hold constant. Then we get (using the chain rule):

$f_y(x,y)=\frac{\partial}{\partial y}f(x,y)=\frac{\partial}{\partial y}\ln (2+x^2+y^2)=\frac{1}{2+x^2+y^2}\cdot \frac{\partial}{\partial y}(2+x^2+y^2)$
