Question:

Let {eq}f(x, y) = (-(2x + y))^8 {/eq}.

Then find {eq}\displaystyle \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x \partial y},\ \frac{\partial^3 f}{\partial x \partial y \partial x},\ \frac{\partial^3 f}{\partial x^2 \partial y} {/eq}.

Higher Order:

Determine the derivatives of higher order is equivalent to calculate the derivative iteratively until you reach the order that is requested:

for example, third order partial derivatives require the calculation of three partial derivatives iteratively.
