In this chapter we deal with functions of more than one variable. For example if we deal with function of two variables only EXAMPLE- 1 : (treating y as a constant) (treating x as a constant)
EXAMPLE - 2: For , compute Solution: Treating as a constant, we have : Similarly , treating as a constant, we have:
second-order partial derivatives If we have a function of two variables Note: EXAMPLE - 3: Find all second-order partial derivatives Solution:
EXAMPLE- 4 : For Solution : we first rewrite as we treat and as constants treating and as constants treating and as constants
EXAMPLE - 5 : If Show that Solution: (2) Multiply (1) by and (2) by we get Divided by
The Chain Rule ► Case 1 Suppose that Example 6 :- Suppose that Use the chain rule to find Solution
► Case 2 Suppose that and Example 7:- If Find Solution using chain rule and
