how is f x y = (-y sin xy)(x) = -xy sin xy ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how to solve this second order partial derivative? when function f(x,y) =Sin xy.....??? i have differentiated w.r.t. x and got \[-y ^{2} Sin xy\] but to find 2nd order part. derv. i have differentiated this w.r.t. y and i have got \[-xy Sin xy -\cos xy\] is this correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When you take a partial w.r.t. x you hold y as a constant, so: \[D_x=-ysin(xy)-xy^2\cos(xy)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

plz hold on..i'll type how i had solved...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

function is 'Sin xy' part.derv. wrt x=y cos xy -------eq. 1 part.derv. of eq .1 wrt x= \[-y ^{2} \sin xy\] and part.derv of eq 1 wrt y is = \[-xy \sin xy-\cos xy \] (using uv rule)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the part.derv. of eq 1 wrt y correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to find part.derv. of eq 1 wrt 'y' :- \[u= y \cos xy & v=\cos xy\] then, \[{y(- \sin xy)x}-{\cos xy .1}\] and thats how i got −xysinxy−cosxy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u=y and v=cos xy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you getting the same answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u der?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I thought your function was -xysin(xy)......? your partial w.r.t. x is correct what are you trying to find out ? \[f_x(x,y), f_y(x,y), or, f_{xy}(x,y)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the actual function is f(x,y)=Sin xy \[f_{x} (x,y)= y Cos xy \] , \[f _{xx}= - y ^{2} Sin xy \] and \[f _{xy}(x,y)= -xy Sin xy+\cos xy\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is this correct???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, thats correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah i got the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah i got the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cool
