Quick question...so when solving this equation for example do
F(x,y)= 2x^2 -xy+y^2-x-5y+8
In respect to x is this right??? do you keep the x from the xy and the x before -5y...??? please help
= 4x-x=0

I need more help...what is the partial derivative of this equation with respect to x.
2006-10-09 09:18:08 · update #1
To differentiate with respect to x here is called partial differentiation as there are to variables so
df/dx = 4x - xdy/dx -x + 2ydy/dx -1 -5dy/dx
so
df/dx = (dy/dx)(2y - x -5) + 3x -1

The partial derivative of a function f(x,y) in respect to x is obtained using the same rules for derivative of a function of one variable, but you may consider y as a constant.
In you function we have:
dF(x,y)/dx = 4x -y -1
