1 Partial Derivatives October 2013

2 Derivative in one variable. Recall for a function of one variable, f (a) = lim h 0 f (a + h) f (a) h slope f (a + h) f (a) h a a + h

3 Partial derivatives. For a function of two variables z = f (x, y): Partial derivatives f x (a, b) = f f (a + h, b) f (a, b) (a, b) = lim x h 0 h f y (a, b) = f f (a, b + h) f (a, b) (a, b) = lim y h 0 h

4 Example: Limit definition. f (x, y) = x 2 y 3 : f x = lim f (x + h, y) f (x, y) h 0 h (x + h) 2 y 3 x 2 y 3 = lim h 0 h x 2 y 3 + 2xhy 3 + h 2 y 3 x 2 y 3 = lim h 0 h 2xhy 3 + h 2 y 3 = lim h 0 h = lim 2xy 3 + hy 3 h 0 = 2xy 3. So f x = 2xy 3. Exercise: f y = 3x 2 y 2.

5 Geometric meaning. Say C is the vertical trace of the graph of f on the plane y = b. C is given by z = f (x, b), y = b Tangent line to C at point (a, b) has slope given by the ordinary derivative of the single-variable function z = f (x, b), at x = a That is the same as the partial derivative f x (a, b)

6 Geometric meaning, y. Similarly let C be the vertical trace of the graph of f on the plane x = a. C is given by z = f (a, y), x = a Tangent line to C at point (a, b) has slope given by the ordinary derivative of the single-variable function z = f (a, y), at y = b That is the same as the partial derivative f y (a, b)

7 Summary of geometric meaning. f (a, b) is the slope of the tangent line to the vertical x trace of the graph of f on y = b Treating y = b as a constant, leaving x as a variable f (a, b) is the slope of the tangent line to the vertical y trace of the graph of f on x = a Treating x = a as a constant, leaving y as a variable
