Equations and Inequations
Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.

Since the limits exist for all points (Xp, Yo), we can write f,(x, y) =f;= 4x – y, f, (x, y) =fy=-x+2y, which
are themselves functions of x and y.
Note that formally f,(xo, Yo) is obtained from f(x, y) by differentiating with respect to x, keeping y constant
and then putting x = Xp, y = Yo- Similarly, f,(Xo, Yo) is obtained by differentiating f with respect to y, keeping x
constant. This procedure, while often lucrative in practice, need not always yield correct results (see Problem
6.9). It will work if the partial derivatives are continuous.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fad530511-9758-42d9-9994-894bc4eea3f3%2F90319ba9-e962-4356-b6a4-e8db125b1591%2Fwwmrg3m_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
