Question

f(x,y)=(x/(y^2)) + xy whats the partial derivatives for this function?

Answer 1

derive with respect to x; then derive with respect to y ...

Answer 2

when working with respect to x; consider y to be a constant; and same concept for with respect to y

Answer 3

i got this but im not sure its correct.. fx(x,y) = (y^2/ y^4 ) + y and fy(x,y)=-1/2(y^2)^(-1/2) . 2y + x

Answer 4

\[f(x,y)=xy^{-2} + xy\]
\[f_x(x,y)=y^{-2} + y\]
\[f_y(x,y)=-2xy^{-3} +x\]
if i see it right

Answer 5

treat the "other" variables as tho they were just a constant

Answer 6

thank you ! i skipped the function "transformation" to xy^-2..

Answer 7

i cant find the good answer button and ive tried 3 different browsers lol what am i doing wrong
