Multivariate Calculus2

1. The first order partial derivative of a function f(x,y) with respect to x is defined as the limit of the difference quotient as h approaches 0. Similarly, the first order partial derivative with respect to y is defined. 2. Higher order partial derivatives can be taken by partially differentiating the first order partial derivatives. There are four second order partial derivatives defined by taking partial derivatives with respect to x and y. 3. Examples are provided to demonstrate computing first and second order partial derivatives of functions.

Partial Derivative of First Order

f (x, y) is a function of two variables. The first order partial derivative of


f with respect to x at a point (x, y) is
f f (x  h, y)  f (x, y)
 lim
x h0 h
f (x, y) is a function of two variables. The first partial derivative of f
with respect to y at a point (x, y) is
f f (x, y  k)  f (x, y)
 lim
y k0 k

∂f/∂x and ∂f/∂y are called First Order Partial Derivatives of f .


Example Compute the first order partial derivatives

f (x, y)  3x 2 y  2  y 3 .
f y  3x 2  3y 2
f x  6xy

Example Compute the first order partial derivatives

f ( x ,y )  2x  3y  4

Partial Derivative of Higher Order
Definition :-

if z(x, y) is a function of two variables. Then ∂z/∂x and ∂z/∂y are also
functions of two variables and their partials can be taken. Hence we can differentiate
with respect to x and y again and find ,
