Example Question #991 : Partial Derivatives

Calculate the partial derivative with respect to x, fx(x, y), of the following function:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The partial derivative of f(x,y) is calculated by treating y as a constant.  The third term requires an application of the chain rule:

Example Question #997 : 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.

First, we find the partial derivative of the function with respect to x:

The derivative was found using the following rule:

Next, we find the partial derivative of the above function with respect to y:

The rule above was used.

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