higher order partial derivatives

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

\[f(x,t)=x^2e^-{ct} ; f_{ttt} and f_{txx}\]

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

I got \[-c^3x^2e^{-ct}\] and \[ -2ce^{-ct}\]

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

What is e^- ?

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Oh, e^(-ct)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Your second expression is correct, but I think you forgot to apply the product rule in the first.

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

I think his first expression is correct...

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Don't need product rule.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh, my mistake. For some reason I thought c was the variable.

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

And yes, second expression looks correct.

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

f(x,t)=x^2e^(-ct)

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

that was the question

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Ok, we figured that out. And we verified you were correct.

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

okay, so both of my answers are correct?

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Looks like it.
