First, we nd the rst order derivatives f x(x;y) = 52sin(2x) 2xe y f y(x;y) = 5x2e5y + 6y: Now we nd the second order derivatives: f xx(x;y) = 4cos(2x) 2e5y f xy(x;y) = 10xe5y f yx(x;y) = 10xe5y f yy(x;y) = 525x2e y + 6: Problem 2.

people.math.harvard.edu › ~knill › teachingf(x,y) is defined as the derivative of the function g(x) = f(x,y), where y is considered a constant. It is called partial derivative of f with respect to x. The partial derivative with respect to y is defined similarly. We also use the short hand notation fx(x,y) = ∂ ∂x f(x,y). For iterated derivatives, the notation is similar: for example fxy = ∂ ∂x
