Chapter 11: Partial Derivatives

• basic topic: functions of several variables, their (partial)derivatives, and the use of those derivatives.

• Before diving into details: Here is an example of the cruxof the matter:

Supposef(x, y) = x2 sin(x+ y)

Then

• fx =

• fy =

• fxx =

• fxy =

• fyx =

• fyy =

• So we need to talk about functions of several variables,their limits, continuity, and then derivatives ...

11.1 Functions of Several Variables

• Defined much like function of one variable, usually in termsof a mathematical expression, although it might also bedescribed verbally, numerically by a table of values, orvisually by a surface or a set of contour lines.

• We’ll focus on the algebraic form.

• Example 3:

f(x, y) =!

9! x2! y2

Terminology

•

z = f(x, y)

• x, y are the independent variables.

• z is the dependent variable.

• The domain is the set of all points (x, y) where f can beevaluated.

• Natural Domain as before.

• The range is the set of all outputs

• Domains and Ranges of

f(x, y) =!

9! x2! y2

f(x, y) = ln(y ! x2)

Functions of Three Variables

• Same sort of ideas, except we have three independent vari-ables.

• What happens to the contour lines?

• Example:f(x, y, z) = x2 + y2 + z2.

11.2 Limits and Continuity

• Recall that in one variable we considered limits like

limx!"c

f(x) = L (1)

and also one-sided limits like

limx!"c+

f(x) = L and limx!"c!

f(x) = L (2)

• The limit (1) exists if and only if the two one-sided limits(2) exist and are equal.

• In several variables we have infinitely many, rather thanjust two, directions in which we can approach a point.

• Example:

lim(x,y)!"(0,0)

sin(x2 + y2)

x2 + y2
