Math Problem Statement
Find all second-order partial derivatives for the function f(x, y, z) = (x^2 y^6 / z^3) - 2x^6 z + 8y^(-3) x^4 + 4z^2.
Solution
To find all second-order partial derivatives of the function f(x,y,z)=z3x2y6−2x6z+8y−3x4+4z2, we need to compute the following derivatives:
-
First, let's compute the first partial derivatives with respect to x, y, and z:
fx=∂x∂(z3x2y6−2x6z+8y−3x4+4z2)
=z32xy6−12x5z+32y−3x3
fy=∂y∂(z3x2y6−2x6z+8y−3x4+4z2)
=z36x2y5−24y−4x4
fz=∂z∂(z3x2y6−2x6z+8y−3x4+4z2)
=−z43x2y6−2x6+8z
-
Now, compute the second-order partial derivatives:
-
Second partial derivatives with respect to x:
fxx=∂x∂(fx)=∂x∂(z32xy6−12x5z+32y−3x3)
=z32y6−60x4z+96y−3x2
-
Mixed partial derivatives with respect to x and y:
fxy=∂y∂(fx)=∂y∂(z32xy6−12x5z+32y−3x3)
=z312xy5−96y−4x3
-
Mixed partial derivatives with respect to x and z:
fxz=∂z∂(fx)=∂z∂(z32xy6−12x5z+32y−3x3)
=−z46xy6−12x5
-
Second partial derivatives with respect to y:
fyy=∂y∂(fy)=∂y∂(z36x2y5−24y−4x4)
=z330x2y4+96y−5x4
-
Mixed partial derivatives with respect to y and z:
fyz=∂z∂(fy)=∂z∂(z36x2y5−24y−4x4)
=−z418x2y5
-
Second partial derivatives with respect to z:
fzz=∂z∂(fz)=∂z∂(−z43x2y6−2x6+8z)
=z512x2y6+8
These are the second-order partial derivatives of the given function.
