Chapter 12: Q. 22 (page 989)

Partial derivatives: Find all first- and second-order partial derivatives for the following functions:
$f (x, y) = \tan^{鈭� 1} (\frac{y}{x})$

Short Answer

Expert verified

$\frac{{鈭�}^{2} f}{鈭� x^{2}} = \frac{2 x y}{{(x^{2} + y^{2})}^{2}}$ and $\frac{{鈭�}^{2} f}{鈭� y^{2}} = \frac{- 2 x y}{{(x^{2} + y^{2})}^{2}}$

Step by step solution

Step 1. Given information

$f (x, y) = \tan^{鈭� 1} (\frac{y}{x})$

Step 2. Differentiate

Partially differentiating w.r.t x, y,

$\begin{aligned} \frac{鈭� f}{鈭� x} = \frac{1}{1 + {(\frac{y}{x})}^{2}} (鈭� \frac{y}{x^{2}}) \\ = 鈭� \frac{y}{x^{2} + y^{2}} \end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned} \frac{鈭� f}{鈭� y} = \frac{1}{1 + {(\frac{y}{x})}^{2}} (\frac{1}{x}) \\ = \frac{x}{x^{2} + y^{2}} \end{aligned}$

Now, again differentiating w.r.t x and y,

role="math" localid="1649910645072" $\begin{aligned} \frac{{鈭�}^{2} f}{鈭� x^{2}} = 鈭� \frac{(x^{2} + y^{2}) 0 鈭� y (2 x + 0)}{{(x^{2} + y^{2})}^{2}} \\ = \frac{2 x y}{{(x^{2} + y^{2})}^{2}} \end{aligned}$

Now,

$\begin{aligned} \frac{{鈭�}^{2} f}{鈭� y 鈭� x} = 鈭� \frac{(x^{2} + y^{2}) (1) 鈭� y (0 + 2 y)}{{(x^{2} + y^{2})}^{2}} \\ = \frac{y^{2} 鈭� x^{2}}{{(x^{2} + y^{2})}^{2}} \end{aligned}$

Therefore,

$\begin{aligned} \frac{{鈭�}^{2} f}{鈭� y^{2}} = 鈭� \frac{(x^{2} + y^{2}) 0 鈭� x (0 + 2 y)}{{(x^{2} + y^{2})}^{2}} \\ = \frac{鈭� 2 x y}{{(x^{2} + y^{2})}^{2}} \end{aligned}$
