2 Math 2080 Week 10 Page 2 Gentry Publishing The first partial derivative of z = F(x, y) with respect to x is M Mx F(x, y) = lim h60 F(x%h, y)&f(x, y) h provided the limit exists. This partial derivative is also denoted by and M z Mx z x F x (x, y) or, simply F x.

3 Math 2080 Week 10 Page 3 Gentry Publishing The first partial derivative of F(x, y) with respect to y is M My F(x, y) = lim h60 F(x, y%h)&f(x, y) h provided the limit exists. This partial derivative is also denoted by and M z My, z y, F y (x, y) or simply F y.

4 Math 2080 Week 10 Page 4 Gentry Publishing The four second partial derivatives of z = F(x, y) are : The second partial derivative of F with respect to x: M 2 M 2 /Mx 2 F(x, y) = F(x, y) = F xx (x, y) Mx 2 M Mx M Mx M Mx / F x (x, y) = F(x, y)

5 Math 2080 Week 10 Page 5 Gentry Publishing The second partial derivative of F with respect to y: M 2 M 2 /My 2 F(x, y) = F(x, y) = F yy (x, y) My 2 M My M My M My / F y (x, y) = F(x, y)

6 Math 2080 Week 10 Page 6 Gentry Publishing The (mixed) second partial derivative of F with respect to x and then y: M 2 M 2 /MyMx F(x, y) = F(x, y) = F xy (x, y) M My MyMx M My M Mx / F x (x, y) = F(x, y) The (mixed) second partial derivative of F with respect to y and then x: M 2 M 2 /MxMy F(x, y) = F(x, y) = F yx (x, y) MxMy M Mx M Mx M My / F y (x, y) = F(x, y)

7 Math 2080 Week 10 Page 7 Gentry Publishing Problem Determine all first and second order partial derivatives of the given function. (a) F(x, y) = x 3 + x 2 y - y 4 (b) F(x, y) = x sin(y)

8 Math 2080 Week 10 Page 8 Gentry Publishing (c) F(x, y) = x ln(y 2 ) - e yx

9 Math 2080 Week 10 Page 9 Gentry Publishing EQUALITY OF MIXED PARTIAL DERIVATIVES. If the partial derivatives F xy and F yx are continuous in a circular region about a point (x, y) then F xy (x, y) = F yx (x, y).

10 Math 2080 Week 10 Page 10 Gentry Publishing These concepts extends to functions of more than two variables, e.g.. If G(x,y,z) = xy -yz 2 then G x = G z = G zy = G zx =

11 Math 2080 Week 10 Page 11 Gentry Publishing For a function G of x, y, and z, there are 24 mixed partial derivatives that differentiate twice with respect to x, twice with respect to y and once with respect to z: G xxyyz G xxyzy G xxzyy G xzxyy G zxxyy G xyxyz G xyxzy G xyzxy G xzyxy G zxyxy G yyxxz G yyxzx G yyzxx G yzyxx G zyyxx G yxyxz G yxyzx G yxzyx G yzxyx G zyxyx G yxxyz G yxxzy G yxzxy G yzxxy G zyxxy G xyyxz G xyyzx G xyzyx G xzyyx G zxyyx If G is smooth enough, all of these will have the same value. What does this mean? Eg. if G(x,y,z) = x sin(y) + xe -zy - x%ln(x%z 2 ) x z &2x 2 %cos(x/z) y which way would you evaluate G zxyyx?

16 Math 2080 Week 10 Page 16 Gentry Publishing Planes parallel to two of the coordinate axes. Each pair of coordinate axes determine a plane, e.g., the x-y plane, the y-z plane. These planes are characterized by the fact that the third coordinated is zero at each point in the plane. The x-y plane is The x-z plane is The y-z plane is

17 Math 2080 Week 10 Page 17 Gentry Publishing More generally, planes that are parallel to one of these two-axis planes are characterized by the property that one of their coordinates is constant. { (x, y, z) } This plane is then parallel to the plane formed from the two non-constant coordinate axes.

The line L 1-N is to the line L 1 at the point (x 0, y 0 ).

23 Math 2080 Week 10 Page 23 Gentry Publishing Dot Products The dot product or inner product of two vectors is the sum of the product of their respective components: Let V = (v 1, v 2 ) U = (u 1, u 2 ) the dot product of V and U is VCU / v 1 u 1 + v 2 u 2 If V = (2, -3) U = (4, 5) then VCU = In 3-dimensions, if N = (2, 3, 5) and T = (-1, 7, 4) then NCT =

24 Math 2080 Week 10 Page 24 Gentry Publishing The dot-product of two vectors can also be expressed as ucv = u v cos(θ) where θ is the angle between the two vectors, and u is the length of the vector u: (u u 2 2 ) ½ O- v_ U_ Notice that since -1 # cos(θ) # 1 we have - u v # ucv # u v

25 Math 2080 Week 10 Page 25 Gentry Publishing Geometrically, the dot product is the product of the length of the vector u and the length of the projection of the vector v onto u this is how much v goes in the direction of u In the diagram at the right, the length A is v, and C is the length of the projection of v onto u, A O- C Pv v_ B U_ This is the distance from the common vertex to the point Pv which is given as C = v cos(θ) since cos(θ) = C/A.

If (x 0, y 0, z 0 ) is a point on the line L which is the intersection of the planes z = z 0 + A 0 x + B 0 y and z = z 1 + A 1 x + B 1 y Then the line L is the set of points that simultaneously satisfies the point-slope equations A 0 (x - x 0 ) + B 0 (y - y 0 ) + C 0 ( z - z 0 ) = 0 and A 1 (x - x 0 ) + B 1 (y - y 0 ) + C 1 ( z - z 0 ) = 0 with C 1 = C 0 = Example: What is the line given by x= y and y = z?
