Math Problem Statement

Partial derivative of Z=f(x,y,u(x,y),v(x,y))=xy + u(x,y)sinx + v(x,y).e^(x^2) with respect to x

Solution

To find the partial derivative of Z=f(x,y,u(x,y),v(x,y))=xy+u(x,y)sinx+v(x,y)ex2Z = f(x, y, u(x, y), v(x, y)) = xy + u(x, y)\sin{x} + v(x, y) e^{x^2} with respect to xx, we'll apply the chain rule and differentiate each term in ZZ with respect to xx.

Step-by-step differentiation:

  1. For the term xyxy: x(xy)=y\frac{\partial}{\partial x} (xy) = y

  2. For the term u(x,y)sinxu(x, y)\sin{x}: Using the product rule, we treat u(x,y)u(x, y) as a function of xx and yy, so: x(u(x,y)sinx)=uxsinx+u(x,y)cosx\frac{\partial}{\partial x} \left(u(x, y)\sin{x}\right) = \frac{\partial u}{\partial x} \sin{x} + u(x, y) \cos{x}

  3. For the term v(x,y)ex2v(x, y)e^{x^2}: Again, using the product rule: x(v(x,y)ex2)=vxex2+v(x,y)ddx(ex2)\frac{\partial}{\partial x} \left(v(x, y)e^{x^2}\right) = \frac{\partial v}{\partial x} e^{x^2} + v(x, y) \cdot \frac{d}{dx} \left(e^{x^2}\right) The derivative of ex2e^{x^2} with respect to xx is: ddx(ex2)=2xex2\frac{d}{dx} \left(e^{x^2}\right) = 2x e^{x^2} So, the derivative of v(x,y)ex2v(x, y)e^{x^2} is: vxex2+v(x,y)2xex2\frac{\partial v}{\partial x} e^{x^2} + v(x, y) \cdot 2x e^{x^2}

Combining all terms:

Now, summing up all the partial derivatives, we get: Zx=y+uxsinx+u(x,y)cosx+vxex2+2xv(x,y)ex2\frac{\partial Z}{\partial x} = y + \frac{\partial u}{\partial x} \sin{x} + u(x, y)\cos{x} + \frac{\partial v}{\partial x} e^{x^2} + 2x v(x, y) e^{x^2}

This is the partial derivative of ZZ with respect to xx.


Do you need further clarification or more details on any step?

Here are some related questions to consider:

  1. What is the partial derivative of ZZ with respect to yy?
  2. How would you compute the mixed partial derivative 2Zxy\frac{\partial^2 Z}{\partial x \partial y}?
  3. How does the chain rule apply to functions with nested dependencies like u(x,y)u(x, y) and v(x,y)v(x, y)?
  4. What happens if u(x,y)u(x, y) and v(x,y)v(x, y) are given specific functional forms?
  5. How would the solution change if we introduced higher-order terms in xx?

Tip: Always use the product and chain rules when differentiating products of functions of multiple variables.
