Partial derivatives, Mathematics

Assignment Help:

So far we have considered differentiation of functions of one independent variable. In many situations, we come across functions with more than one independent variable. Since the value of the function is influenced by each independent variable, the rate of change in the value of the function relative to the change in one independent variable can be studied by holding the other independent variable constant. Let z = f(x,y). The change in z for changes in x can be obtained by holding y constant. This is the basic idea behind partial differentiation. The rules for partial differentiation and ordinary differentiation are exactly the same except that when the partial derivative of one independent variable is taken, the other independent variables are treated as constant. The partial derivatives of a function f(x,y) are symbolically represented by   2151_partial derivative.png   to indicate the partial derivative with respect to x and the partial derivative with respect to y respectively.
