Let f(x, y) = x^2 + 2 x y + y^2 + 3 x + 5 y. Find {partial f} / {partial x} (2, -3) and {partial...
Question:
Let {eq}f(x,\ y) = x^2 + 2 x y + y^2 + 3 x + 5 y {/eq}. Find {eq}\dfrac {\partial f} {\partial x} (2,\ -3) {/eq} and {eq}\dfrac {\partial f} {\partial y} (2,\ -3) {/eq}.
Partials Derivatives:
We can use the same general rules of differentiation to carry out the partial derivatives of a function of two or more variables, simply that when we differentiate with respect to one variable, the others are considered constants, the following formula being useful:
{eq}\displaystyle u =f(x,y,z)\\ \displaystyle du =\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}dx+\frac{\partial f}{\partial y}dy+\frac{\partial f}{\partial z}dz\\ {/eq}
