partial derivatives...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

show that \[ \frac{∂^{ 2} z }{ ∂x ∂y } = \frac{ ∂^2 z }{ ∂y∂x }\] 1. z = x+y/x-y 2. \[z= (x^2 + y^2)^\frac{ 3 }{ 2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's 3/2

differentiate it usually as you do keeping the other variable as constant.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first do the partial derivative for x and then y, then do the partial derivative all over again but now start with y then do the partial for x your answers should both equal each other, no matter which way you had approached it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you so much! :))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your most welcome

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it equal to \[\frac{ -4xy}{ (x-y)^{4}}\] ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I really did not try it, but try it both ways and see, you have to get the same answer in both methods, I will try it in a few minutes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah the second partial derivative is pretty difficult, I got a different answer to your answer. let me try the other way

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no...that one is the result when |dw:1349653075658:dw| ?
