Example Question #401 : Partial Derivatives
Given the function , find the partial derivative
We can find the partial derivative of the function by taking its derivative with respect to and holding constant. We also use the chain rule to get:
Example Question #402 : Partial Derivatives
Given the function , find the partial derivative
We can find the partial derivative of the function by taking the derivative with respect to and holding and constant:
Example Question #403 : Partial Derivatives
Given the function , calculate .
To find the partial derivative of the function
we differentiate it with respect to while holding constant:
Example Question #404 : Partial Derivatives
Given the function , calculate .
To find the partial derivative of the function
we differentiate it with respect to while holding constant:
Example Question #405 : Partial Derivatives
If , find .
None of the other answers
None of the other answers
The correct answer is .
First we find . ( could be found first, it does not matter, but avoids the product rule in the first step.)
Now taking the partial derivative of with respect to , we obtain after using the product rule-
.
Example Question #406 : Partial Derivatives
Given , find .
None of the other answers
To find , we take the derivative of , using as the variable, and treating as a constant, or a number.
This means the partial derivative of with respect to is (Similar to the derivative of being , for example.)
The partial derivative of with respect to is therefore , using the Chain Rule from 1-dimensional calculus.
Putting these together, we have .
