Find the first partial derivatives of the function fx y x5y
Find the first partial derivatives of the function.
f(x, y) = x5y6 + 9x2y
fx(x, y) =
fy(x, y) =
Solution
The given function is
f(x, y) = x5y6 + 9 x2y
Partially differentiating f(x,y) with respect to x treating y as constant, we get
fx(x, y) = 5 x4y6 + 18 xy, and
Partially differentiating f(x,y) with respect to y treating x as constant, we get
fy(x, y) = 6 x5y5 + 9 x2,
