Math Problem Statement
Now, β πΉ π₯ β π¦
β π₯ 2 β π¦ 2 ( π₯ 2 + π¦ 2 ) 2 .
Let's assume β π β π¦
πΊ ( π₯ , π¦ ) . Then, to satisfy the mixed partial derivative condition, we would need:
[ \frac{\partial}{\partial x} G(x, y) = -\frac{x^2 - y2}{(x2 + y2)2} ]
However, upon closer inspection, we notice that:
[ \frac{\partial}{\partial x} \left( -\frac{y}{{x^2 + y^2}} \right) = \frac{2xy}{(x^2 + y2)2} ]
Which means:
[ \frac{\partial}{\partial y} \left( -\frac{y}{{x^2 + y^2}} \right) = -\frac{x^2 - y2}{(x2 + y2)2} ]
[ \frac{\partial}{\partial x} \left( -\frac{y}{{x^2 + y^2}} \right) = \frac{2xy}{(x^2 + y2)2} ]
These two mixed partial derivatives are not equal.
Therefore, there does not exist a function π such that β π β π₯
πΉ ( π₯ , π¦ )
β π¦ π₯ 2 + π¦ 2 , because the mixed partial derivative condition is not satisfied. write down this in math language
Solution
Certainly! Here's the explanation you provided, written in proper mathematical notation:
We start with the given partial derivative:
Assume that:
To satisfy the mixed partial derivative condition (i.e., Clairaut's theorem), we need the following condition:
However, on calculating the partial derivative of with respect to , we get:
On the other hand, the partial derivative of with respect to is:
Since the mixed partial derivatives are not equal, this contradicts the condition required by Clairaut's theorem:
which implies that no function can exist such that:
Thus, the mixed partial derivative condition is violated, and therefore, such a function does not exist.

Here are some related questions to explore further:
- What is Clairaut's theorem, and why is it important for mixed partial derivatives?
- Can you find a different function such that ?
- How do you verify whether mixed partial derivatives satisfy Clairaut's theorem in general?
- What happens if we try the same approach for higher-order partial derivatives (i.e., third or fourth-order)?
- How can we check the symmetry of partial derivatives for a function in three variables?
Tip: To verify the consistency of mixed partial derivatives, always check whether the order of differentiation does not affect the result (i.e., ).
