Chapter 11: Problem 61

Find the four second partial derivatives. Observe that the second mixed partials are equal. $$ z=x^{2}-2 x y+3 y^{2} $$

Short Answer

Expert verified
\(\frac{{\partial}^2 z}{{\partial} x^2} = 2\), \(\frac{{\partial}^2 z}{{\partial} y^2} = 6\), \(\frac{{\partial}^2 z}{{\partial} y \partial} x = -2\), \(\frac{{\partial}^2 z}{{\partial} x \partial} y = -2\). Yes, the second mixed partials are equal.

Step by step solution

01

Find the first order partial derivatives

Differentiate \(z = x^2 - 2xy + 3y^2\) partially with respect to \(x\) and then \(y\) to get first order partial derivatives. \(\frac{{\partial} z}{{\partial} x} = 2x - 2y\) \(\frac{{\partial} z}{{\partial} y} = -2x + 6y\)
02

Find the second order partial derivatives

Differentiate \(\frac{{\partial} z}{{\partial} x}\) and \(\frac{{\partial} z}{{\partial} y}\) again partially with respect to \(x\) and \(y\) respectively, to find \(\frac{{\partial}^2 z}{{\partial} x^2}\) and \(\frac{{\partial}^2 z}{{\partial} y^2}\). \(\frac{{\partial}^2 z}{{\partial} x^2} = 2\) \(\frac{{\partial}^2 z}{{\partial} y^2} = 6\)
03

Find the mixed second order partial derivatives

Differentiate \(\frac{{\partial} z}{{\partial} x}\) with respect to \(y\) and \(\frac{{\partial} z}{{\partial} y}\) with respect to \(x\) to find the mixed second order partial derivatives. \(\frac{{\partial}^2 z}{{\partial} y \partial} x = -2\) \(\frac{{\partial}^2 z}{{\partial} x \partial} y = -2\)
04

Verify Equality of Mixed Partial Derivatives

Check if \(\frac{{\partial}^2 z}{{\partial} y \partial} x = \frac{{\partial}^2 z}{{\partial} x \partial} y\). Here, both are equal to -2, so we can indeed confirm that they are equal.

Resistance \(\quad\) The total resistance \(R\) of two resistors connected in parallel is \(\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{R_{1}}+\frac{1}{R_{2}}\) Approximate the change in \(R\) as \(R_{1}\) is increased from 10 ohms to 10.5 ohms and \(R_{2}\) is decreased from 15 ohms to 13 ohms.

Moment of Inertia An annular cylinder has an inside radius of \(r_{1}\) and an outside radius of \(r_{2}\) (see figure). Its moment of inertia is \(I=\frac{1}{2} m\left(r_{1}^{2}+r_{2}^{2}\right)\) where \(m\) is the mass. The two radii are increasing at a rate of 2 centimeters per second. Find the rate at which \(I\) is changing at the instant the radii are 6 centimeters and 8 centimeters. (Assume mass is a constant.)

Find a normal vector to the level curve \(f(x, y)=c\) at \(P.\) $$ \begin{array}{l} f(x, y)=x y \\ c=-3, \quad P(-1,3) \end{array} $$

Heat-Seeking Path In Exercises 57 and \(58,\) find the path of a heat-seeking particle placed at point \(P\) on a metal plate with a temperature field \(T(x, y)\). $$ T(x, y)=400-2 x^{2}-y^{2}, \quad P(10,10) $$
