Do you know how to take a partial derivative?

anonymous · Answer

Partial just implies more than one variable, but the nice thing with partials is that you can treat other variables as constants

anonymous · Answer

yes I know how to take a partial derivative; however, each time I try to solve it I end up making a mistake somewhere
