 Partial Derivatives

Def.: The partial derivative of the function 𝑓(𝑥, 𝑦) with respect to 𝑥 is defined as

𝜕 𝜕𝑓 𝑓 𝑥 + ℎ, 𝑦 − 𝑓(𝑥, 𝑦)
𝑓𝑥 = 𝑓 = = lim
𝜕𝑥 𝜕𝑥 ℎ→0 ℎ
Similarly, the partial derivative of the function 𝑓(𝑥, 𝑦) with respect to 𝑦 is defined as

𝜕 𝜕𝑓 𝑓 𝑥, 𝑦 + ℎ − 𝑓(𝑥, 𝑦)
𝑓𝑦 = 𝑓 = = lim
𝜕𝑦 𝜕𝑦 ℎ→0 ℎ

Second order partial derivatives

Let 𝑍 = 𝑓(𝑥, 𝑦) be a function of 𝑥 and 𝑦, then

𝜕2 𝑍
= 𝑓𝑥𝑥 is the second derivative with respect to 𝑥
𝜕𝑥 2

𝜕2 𝑍
= 𝑓𝑦𝑦 is the second derivative with respect to 𝑦
𝜕𝑦 2

𝜕2 𝑍

𝜕𝑥𝜕𝑦

 Note: 𝑓𝑥𝑦 = 𝑓𝑦𝑥

 Laplace Equation:
The Laplace equation in two independent variables has the form
𝑓𝑥𝑥 + 𝑓𝑦𝑦 = 0

 Examples

Find 𝑓𝑥𝑥 , 𝑓𝑦𝑦 and 𝑓𝑥𝑦 from the following function

𝑍 = 𝑓 𝑥, 𝑦 = sin 𝑥 − 𝑦 + sin(𝑥 + 𝑦)
𝜕𝑓
Solution: = 𝑓𝑥 = cos 𝑥 − 𝑦 + cos 𝑥 + 𝑦
𝜕𝑥

⟹ 𝑓𝑥𝑥 = − sin 𝑥 − 𝑦 − sin(𝑥 + 𝑦)

𝜕𝑓
= 𝑓𝑦 = −cos 𝑥 − 𝑦 + cos 𝑥 + 𝑦
𝜕𝑦

⟹ 𝑓𝑦𝑦 = − sin 𝑥 − 𝑦 − sin(𝑥 + 𝑦)

𝑓𝑥𝑦 = sin 𝑥 − 𝑦 − sin(𝑥 + 𝑦)

 Examples
If = 𝑓 𝑥, 𝑦 = 𝑥 3 − 3𝑥𝑦 2 , show that the solution of 𝑍 = 𝑓 𝑥, 𝑦 satisfy
the Laplace equation or not?

Solution: 𝑓𝑥 = 3𝑥 2 − 3𝑦 3 ⟹ 𝑓𝑥𝑥 = 6𝑥

𝑓𝑦 = −6𝑥𝑦 ⟹ 𝑓𝑦𝑦 = −6𝑥

∴ 𝑓𝑥𝑥 + 𝑓𝑦𝑦 = 6𝑥 − 6𝑥 = 0 so, its satisfy Laplace equation
