1. Find the first-order partial derivatives, and , of the following:
𝜕𝑦 𝜕𝑥

Function, 𝒛 = 𝒇(𝒙, 𝒚) 𝝏𝒛 𝝏𝒛

a) 𝑧 = 3𝑥 3 − 5𝑦 4 + 12𝑥 4 𝑦 3 9𝑥 2 + 48𝑥 3 𝑦 3 −20𝑦 3 + 36𝑥 4 𝑦 2
b) 𝑧 = 7𝑠𝑖𝑛(4𝑥 − 3𝑦) 28 cos(4𝑥 − 3𝑦) −21 cos(4𝑥 − 3𝑦)
c) 𝑧 = (𝑥 2 − 3𝑦)3 3(2𝑥)(𝑥 2 − 3𝑦)2 3(−3)(𝑥 2 − 3𝑦)2
d) 𝑧 = sin−1 (3𝑥𝑦) 3𝑦 3𝑥
√1 − 9𝑥 2 𝑦 2 √1 − 9𝑥 2 𝑦 2
e) 𝑧 = 4𝑙𝑛(4𝑥 − 𝑦 2 ) 4(4) 4(−2𝑦)
4𝑥 − 𝑦 2 4𝑥 − 𝑦 2
f) 𝑧 = 𝑦𝑒 𝑥𝑦 𝑦 2 𝑒 𝑥𝑦 𝑦𝑥𝑒 𝑥𝑦 + 𝑒 𝑥𝑦

2. Given 𝑧 = 5𝑥 − 3𝑦 4 + 𝑠𝑖𝑛(3𝑥 − 2𝑦), find the following:


a) 𝑧𝑥 = 5 + 3cos⁡(3𝑥 − 2𝑦)
b) 𝑧𝑥𝑥 = −9sin⁡(3𝑥 − 2𝑦)
c) 𝑧𝑦 = −12𝑦 3 − 2cos⁡(3𝑥 − 2𝑦)
d) 𝑧𝑦𝑦 = −36𝑦 2 − 4sin⁡(3𝑥 − 2𝑦)
e) 𝑧𝑦𝑥 = 6sin⁡(3𝑥 − 2𝑦)

3. Use partial derivatives to find if y = f ( x) is determined implicitly by:
dx
a) 3𝑦 4 − 2𝑦 + 3𝑥 3 − 5𝑥 + 1 = 0
𝑑𝑦 9𝑥 2 − 5

b) 3𝑥 2 𝑦 − 𝑠𝑖𝑛(𝑥 2 ) = 2𝑦
3𝑥 2 𝑦 − 𝑠𝑖𝑛(𝑥 2 ) − 2𝑦 = 0
𝑑𝑦 6𝑥𝑦 − 2𝑥𝑐𝑜𝑠(𝑥 2 )
=−
𝑑𝑥 3𝑥 2 − 2
c) 𝑥 3 𝑦 2 − 2𝑥 2 + 3𝑦 2 = 5
𝑥 3 𝑦 2 − 2𝑥 2 + 3𝑦 2 − 5 = 0
𝑑𝑦 3𝑥 2 𝑦 2 − 4𝑥

4. If 𝑦 = , find the percentage increase/ decrease in y when w increases by 2 percent, s

𝑦 = 𝑤𝑠 3 𝑑 −4 , = 𝑠 3 𝑑 −4 , = 3𝑤𝑠 2 𝑑 −4 , = −4𝑤𝑠 3 𝑑 −5

𝛿𝑦 =⁡? ? ?, 𝛿𝑤 = +0.02𝑤, 𝛿𝑠 = −0.01𝑠, 𝛿𝑑 = 0.015𝑑
𝛿𝑦 ≈ 0.02𝑤𝑠 3 𝑑 −4 − 0.03𝑤𝑠 3 𝑑 −4 − 0.06𝑤𝑠 3 𝑑 −4 ≈ −0.07𝑦
y decrease by approximately 7%.

5. The deflection at the centre of a rod is given by y = ; where k is a constant.
d4

Using partial differentiation, find the approximate percentage change:

a) in y if w increases by 1%, l decreases by 2% and d increases by 3%.


𝛿𝑦 ≈ 0.01𝑤𝑘𝑙 3 𝑑 −4 + (−0.02𝑙)3𝑘𝑤𝑙 2 𝑑 −4 + (0.03𝑑)(−4𝑘𝑤𝑙 3 𝑑 −5 )
≈ 0.01𝑦 − 0.06𝑦 − 0.12𝑦 ≈ −0.17𝑦
17% decrease in y.
b) required in ‘d’, if ‘w’ is increased by 2%, ‘l’ is decreased by 1% and ‘y’ is unchanged.
0 ≈ 0.02𝑤𝑘𝑙 3 𝑑 −4 + (−0.01𝑙)3𝑘𝑤𝑙 2 𝑑 −4 + (𝛿𝑑)(−4𝑘𝑤𝑙 3 𝑑−5 )
−0.01𝑘𝑤𝑙 3 𝑑 −4
𝛿𝑑 ≈ ≈ −0.0125𝑑

1.25% decrease in d.

If errors of  2.5%,  1.5% and  3% are possible in measuring w, l and d, respectively, find
the maximum percentage error in the calculated value of y.

𝛿𝑦 ≈ 0.025𝑤𝑘𝑙 3 𝑑 −4 + (0.015𝑙)3𝑘𝑤𝑙 2 𝑑−4 + (−0.03𝑑)(−4𝑘𝑤𝑙 3 𝑑 −5 )


≈ 0.025𝑦 + 0.045𝑦 + 0.12𝑦 ≈ 0.19𝑦

19% is maximum percentage error.
