Consider the function $f(x, y) = x^2 + xy + \ln(x^2 + y^2)$. (a) (5 points) Find the partial derivatives $f_x = \frac{\partial f}{\partial x}$ and $f_y = \frac{\partial f}{\partial y}$ of $f$.

Step 1
To find the partial derivative of f with respect to x, we treat y as a constant and differentiate with respect to x. ∂f/∂x = 2x + y(1/x) + 2x/(x^2 + y^2) Show more…
