Introductions to Partial Derivatives
Partial derivatives measure how functions change with respect to one variable alone. To do this in practice, you're treating one variable as a constant, deriving only one variable at a time.
What Are Partial Derivatives?
A partial derivative is written using the symbol ∂ instead of d for regular derivatives. If a function f(x,y) depends on both x and y, we compute:
∂x∂fh→0limhf(x+h,y)−f(x,y)∂y∂fh→0limhf(x,y+h)−f(x,y)When differentiating with respect to one variable, treat all other variables as constants.
Computing Partial Derivatives
Consider the function:
f(x,y)=x2y+3y2Let's find, ∂x∂f:
∂x∂f=2xy- Differentiate with respect to x, treating y as a constant.
Let's compute, ∂y∂f:
∂y∂f=x2+6y- Differentiate with respect to y, treating x as a constant.
