4
eg: 𝑉𝑠𝑝ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 = 3 𝜋𝑟 3 V is a function in r = volume depends on the radius
B) FUNCTION WITH TWO VARIABLES : 𝑧 = 𝑓(𝑥, 𝑦) [x and y are the indep. var. & z is the dep. var.]
eg: 𝑉𝑐𝑦𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑟 = 𝜋𝑟 2 ℎ V is a function in r and h = volume depends on the radius and the height
C) FUNCTION WITH THREE VARIABLES : 𝑉 = 𝑓(𝑤, 𝑙, ℎ) [w, l and h are the indep. var. & V is the dep. var.]]
eg: 𝑉𝑏𝑜𝑥 = 𝑤𝑙ℎ V is a function in w, l and h = volume depends on the width, length and the height

DEFINITION 1
If 𝑓 is a function of two variables 𝑥 and 𝑦, then its partial derivatives are the functions 𝑓𝑥 and 𝑓𝑦
defined by,
𝑓 𝑥+ℎ,𝑦 −𝑓(𝑥,𝑦) 𝜕𝑓
𝑓𝑥 𝑥, 𝑦 = 𝑓𝑥 = lim ℎ
= 𝜕𝑥
ℎ→0
𝑓 𝑥,𝑦+ℎ −𝑓(𝑥,𝑦) 𝜕𝑓
𝑓𝑦 𝑥, 𝑦 = 𝑓𝑦 = lim ℎ
= 𝜕𝑦
ℎ→0
The symbol 𝜕 is used for differentiating function with more than one variable.
#Note1 : For notation 𝑓, differentiate from left to right. For notation 𝜕, differentiate from right to left.
#Note2 : 𝑓𝑥𝑦 = 𝑓𝑦𝑥 if 𝑓 is continuous.
EXAMPLE 2
If 𝑓 𝑥, 𝑦 = 𝑥 3 + 𝑥 2 𝑦 3 − 2𝑦 2 , find 𝑓𝑥 2,1 and 𝑓𝑦 2,1 .
EXAMPLE 3
Find the second partial derivatives of,
a) 𝑓 𝑥, 𝑦 = 𝑥 2 𝑦 3 − 2𝑥 4 𝑦, and b) 𝑓 𝑥, 𝑦 = 𝑦𝑒 𝑥 − 𝑥 ln 𝑦.
