7x^2y+6 (partial^2f)/(partial y^2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

HELP PLEASE! I thought it was just 7x^2 but it says incorrect....

OpenStudy (turingtest):

7x^2 would be the first partial wrt y what is the second?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

14x?

OpenStudy (turingtest):

no, we treat x as a constant since we are taking the partial wrt y

OpenStudy (turingtest):

what is the derivative of a constant?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you just drop the constant, don't you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohhh it's 0?!

OpenStudy (turingtest):

yes, you "drop" it to zero now, since we are treating x as a constant, then x^2 is a constant, and 7x^2 is a constant, so... yes it's 0 :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol thank youuu!!

OpenStudy (turingtest):

welcome!
