Question

6.8) my professor says I have to explain the steps in the solved problems in the picture. Not just copy eveything down from the text.

Partial derivatives
6.8.
If f (x, y) = 2x? – xy + y², find (a) d fl d x and (b) d fld y at (xo, Yo) directly from the definition.

f(Xp, Yo + k) – f(xp, Yo)
= f,(x, Yo) = lim
k
[2x, – x,(Yo + k) + (y, + k)']– [2x, – x,Vo + y°]
= lim
k
-kx, + 2ky, + k²

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.
