5.3 Partial Derivatives
www.personal.psu.edu › sxj937 › NotesExample 5.3.0.4 1. Find the first partial derivatives of the function f(x,t)=e t cos(⇡x) Since there is only two variables, there are two first partial derivatives. First, let’s consider fx. In this case, t is fixed and we treat it as a constant. So, et is just a constant. fx(x,t)=e t⇡sin(⇡x) Now, find ft. Here, x is fixed so cos(⇡x) is just a constant.

Now, let’s do it the other way. We will now hold x x fixed and allow y y to vary. We can do this in a similar way.
