Using Maple To Check Partial Derivatives: F: (X, Y) - X 2+3 X Y+5 X 3+2 Sin (Exp ( (Y+1) /y 2) )

The document demonstrates how to use Maple to compute and check partial derivatives of functions. It defines a sample function f(x,y) and computes its first, second and third partial derivatives with respect to x. It also finds the partial derivative with respect to y and shows the step-by-step working using Maple's DiffTutor command.

Using Maple to check partial derivatives

Mike May, S.J., 2006 - [email protected] Edited by Russell Blyth - [email protected] We can use Maple to compute derivatives for us, thus letting us check our hand computations. To show how to do this we first define a function. O f := (x,y) -> x^2+3*x*y+5*x^3+2*sin(exp((y+1)/y^2)); f := x, y /x2 + 3 x y + 5 x3 + 2 sin e (1) We can then find a partial derivative with the diff command. O fx := diff(f(x,y),x); fx := 2 x + 3 y + 15 x2 (2) We can take second derivatives by either taking the partial of the partial, or by using diff with two x's. O fxx := diff(f(x,y),x,x); fxxA := diff(fx,x); fxx := 2 + 30 x fxxA := 2 + 30 x (3) Third partials work much the same way O fxxx := diff(f(x,y),x,x,x); fxxxA := diff(fxx,x); fxxAx := diff(fxxA,x); fxxx := 30 fxxxA := 30 fxxAx := 30 (4) With our function we can also take the partial derivative with respect to y. O fy := diff(f(x,y),y); $ e y2 y3 This is messy enough that we would like to see a worked solution rather than just the answer. For that we load the Student[Calculus1] package and use the DiffTutor command.

This lets us find mixed partials. O Fyx := diff(Fy,x); fyx := diff(f(x,y),y,x);

Fyx := 3 fyx := 3
