14.3 Partial Derivatives 2
Partial Derivative w.r.t. x at (a, b)
In general, if f is a function of two variables x and y, suppose we let only x vary while keeping y fixed, say y = b, where b is a constant.
Then, we are really considering a function of a single variable x
g(x) = f(x, b)

14.3 Partial Derivatives 3
Partial Derivative w.r.t. x at (a, b)
If g has a derivative at a, we call it the partial derivative of f with respect to x at (a, b).
We denote it by:
fx(a, b)

14.3 Partial Derivatives 4
Partial Derivative w.r.t. x at (a, b)
So we have,
By using the definition of derivative, this equation becomes

14.3 Partial Derivatives 5
Partial Derivative w.r.t. y at (a, b)
Similarly, the partial derivative of f with respect to y at (a, b), denoted by fy(a, b), is obtained by:
◦Keeping x fixed (x = a)
◦Finding the ordinary derivative at b of the function G(y) = f(a, y)

14.3 Partial Derivatives 7
Definition - Partial DerivativesIf we now let the point (a, b) vary
in Equations 2 and 3, fx and fy become functions of two variables.

14.3 Partial Derivatives 9
Rule for finding Partial Derivatives
z = f (x,y)
To find fx, regard y as a constant and differentiate f (x,y) w.r.t. x.
To find fy, regard x as a constant and differentiate f (x,y) w.r.t. y.

14.3 Partial Derivatives 12
Function of more than Two Variables
A function of three variables has the partial derivative w.r.t. x is defined as
and is found by treating y and z as constants and differentiating the function w.r.t. x

14.3 Partial Derivatives 15
Higher DerivativesIf f is a function of two variables, then its
partial derivatives fx and fy are also functions of two variables.
So, we can consider their partial derivatives
(fx)x , (fx)y , (fy)x , (fy)y
These are called the second partial derivatives of f.
