Question:
For the function {eq}\displaystyle h (x,\ y) = \dfrac {3 x + 8 y} {7 x y - 4} {/eq}, find {eq}\displaystyle \dfrac {\partial h} {\partial x} {/eq} and {eq}\displaystyle \dfrac {\partial h} {\partial y} {/eq}.
Partial Derivative:
The partial derivative of a function is the derivative of the function with regard to one of the variables when the function has two or more variables. The other variables will act as a constant when we evaluate the derivative with respect to one variable.
