Partial derivative - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_derivativeIn mathematics, a partial derivative of a function of several variables is its derivative with respect to one of those variables, with the others held constant (as opposed to the total derivative, in which all variables are allowed to vary). Partial derivatives are used in vector calculus and differential geometry .

We will call g′(a) g ′ ( a) the partial derivative of f (x,y) f ( x, y) with respect to x x at (a,b) ( a, b) and we will denote it in the following way, f x(a,b) = 4ab3 f x ( a, b) = 4 a b 3. Now, let’s do it the other way. We will now hold x x fixed and allow y y to vary.
