Example Question #929 : Partial Derivatives

Find  of the following function: 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In order to solve, you must take a total of three derivatives: the first is , then again , and finally ,in that order (the notation in the problem statement dictates that). The first derivative you obtain will be  (the term with x and z goes away because the derivative with that with respect to y is zero). The subsequent derivative is . The final derivative with respect to z is . The rule used for all derivatives is , and we treat all other variables as constants.

Example Question #930 : Partial Derivatives

Find  of the following function: 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

From the problem statement we must take three consecutive derivatives . The first derivative, treating y like a constant, produces . The derivative of this expression again with respect to x is . Finally, the derivative of this expression with respect to y treating x as a constant is .

Example Question #931 : Partial Derivatives

Find  of the following function:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the given partial derivative of the function, we must treat the other variable(s) as constants. For higher order partial derivatives, we work from left to right for the given variables.

To start, we must take the derivative of the function with respect to y:

The derivative was found using the following rules:

,

Finally, we take the derivative of the above function with respect to x:

The derivative was found using rules above as well as

Example Question #932 : Partial Derivatives

Find  for the following function:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the given partial derivative of the function, we must treat the other variable(s) as constants. For higher order partial derivatives, we work from left to right for the given variables.

To start, we must find the derivative of the function with respect to x:

The derivative was found using the following rule:

,

Finally, we find the derivative of the above function with respect to x:

We used the above rules to find the derivative as well as the following:
