Find of the function
Explanation
To find of the function, you take two consecutive partial derivatives:
Given the function , find the partial derivative
Explanation
We can find the partial derivative of the function
by taking its derivative with respect to
while holding
and
constant. We will also use the chain rule:
Given the graph of above, what is
?
Explanation
Examining the graph above, we need to look at three things:
-
What is the limit of the function as
approaches zero from the left?
-
What is the limit of the function as
approaches zero from the right?
-
What is the function value as
and is it the same as the result from statement one and two?
Looking at the graph we can determine that as
approaches
because from both the left and right sides of zero, the function is approaching infinity.
