whats first order partial derivative of f(x,y)=7x-10y^2-9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Partial derivative with respect to x or y?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

with respect to x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Partial derivative with respect to x would give you 7 and Partial derivative with respect to y would give you -20y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when taking a partial derivative you count every other variable as a constant and is therefore dropped off in the derivative.
