Example Question #2801 : Calculus 3

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

Possible Answers:

$f_x=2xe^y\sin e^y$

$f_x=2y\sin e^x$

$f_x=2x\cos e^y$

$f_x=2x\sin e^y$

Correct answer:

$f_x=2x\sin e^y$

Explanation:

To find the partial derivative f_x of $f(x,y)=x^2\sin e^y$ , we take its derivative with respect to while holding constant.

So we get

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

Example Question #441 : Partial Derivatives

Find the value of f_x for f(x,y)=x^y at (2,3)

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Note that for this problem, we're told to take the derivative with respect to one particular variable. This is known as taking a partial derivative; often it is denoted with the Greek character delta, $\delta$ , or by the subscript of the variable being considered such as f_x or f_y .

For a problem like this, where we presume all variables are independent of each other, we need only consider the variable that we're taking the derivative of the function with respect to; all other variables can be treated as constants.

Taking the partial derivative of f(x,y)=x^y at (2,3)

We find:

$f_x= yx^{y-1}\rightarrow3(2^2)=12$
