Recall LIMITS from Calculus 1:

Informally, limx!a

f (x) = L if the y-values f (x) get closer and closer to the same number Lwhen x approaches a from either the left of the right.

Does limx!0

f (x) exist for these functions?

106


LIMITS for functions of two variables:

Informally, lim(x,y)!(a,b)

f (x, y) = L if the z-values f (x, y) ...

§14.3 PARTIAL DERIVATIVES

§14.3 Partial Derivatives


• Compute partial derivatives.

• Use average rates of change to approximate partial derivatives.

• For functions of two variables, explain the geometric meaning of a partial deriva-tive as the slope of a tangent line to a curve in the intersection of a surface and aplane.

123


Example. (from book) The wave heights h in the open sea depend on the speed ⌫ ofthe wind and the length of time t that the wind has been blowing at that speed. So wewrite h = f (⌫, t).

1. What is f (40, 20)?

2. If we fix duration at t = 20 hours andthink of g(⌫) = f (⌫, 20) as a functionof ⌫, what is the approximate valueof the derivative dg

d⌫

��⌫=40

?

3. If we fix wind speed at 40 knots, andthink of k(t) = f (40, t) as a function ofduration t, what is the approximatevalue of the derivative dk

dt

��t=20?

124


Definition. For a function f (x, y) defined near (a, b), the partial derivatives of f at (a, b)are:

fx(a, b) = the derivative of f (x, b) with respect to x when x = a, and

fy(a, b) = the derivative of f (a, y) with respect to y when y = b.

In terms of the limit definition of derivatives, we have:

fx(a, b) = limh!0

fy(a, b) = limh!0

Geometrically, f (x, b) can be thought of as

So fx(a, b) = ddx f (x, b)|x=a can be thought of as

125


Note. To compute fx, we just take the derivative with x as our variable, holding allother variables constant. Similarly for the partial derivative with respect to any othervariable.

Example. f (x, y) = xy. Find fx(1, 2) and fy(1, 2).

126


Notation. There are many notations for partial derivatives, including the following:

fx@ f@x

@z@x f1 D1 f Dx f

Note. Partial derivatives can also be taken for functions of three or more variables. Forexample, if f (x, y, z,w) is a function of 4 variables, then fz(3, 4, 2, 7) means:

Review. Which of the following is the limit definition of@ f@x

(1, 2)?

A. limh!0

f (1 + h, 2 + h) � f (1, 2)h

B. limh!0

f (1 + h, 2) � f (1, 2 + h)h

C. limh!0

f (1 + h, 2) � f (1, 2)h

D. limh!0

f (1, 2 + h) � f (1, 2)h

Review. Based on the graph of z = f (x, y) shown

• is@ f@x

(1, 2) positive, negative, or 0?

128


• is@ f@y

(1, 2) positive, negative, or 0?

Question. For f (x, y) = 3x2y + 5y2 + cos(xy), find@ f@x

.

129


Example. For f (x, y, z) = ex sin(y�z), find Dx f and Dz f .

Example. For z = f (x)g(y), find an expression for@z@x

.

130


Example. For x2� y2 + z2

� 2z = 12, find@z@y

.

131


Notation. Second derivatives are written using any of the following notations:

Example. For f (x, y) = x2 + x2y2� 2y2, calculate fxx, fxy, fyx, and fyy.

132


Theorem. (Clairout’s Thm) Let f (x, y) be defined on a disk D containing (a, b). If fxy

and fyx are both defined and on D, then fxy(a, b) = fyx(a, b).

Example. Consider the function

f (x, y) =

8>><>>:xyx2�y2

x2+y2 if (x, y) , (0, 0)

0 if (x, y) = (0, 0)

It turns out that

• for all x D2 f (x, 0) =

• for all y D1 f (0, y) =

Therefore,

• D2,1 f (0, 0) =

• D1,2 f (0, 0) =

133


Question. True or False: There is a function f with continuous second partial deriva-tives such that fx = x and fy = x.

Extra Example. The wave equation is given by

@2u@t2 = a2@

2u@x2

where u(x, t) represents displacement, t represents time, x represents the distance fromone end of the wave, and a is a constant.

Verify that the function u(x, t) = sin(x � at) satisfies the wave equation.

§14.4 TANGENT PLANES AND LINEAR APPROXIMATIONS

§14.4 Tangent Planes and Linear Approximations


• Find the equation for the tangent plane of a surface z = f (x, y) at a point.

• Use the tangent plane to approximate a function.

• Compute the di↵erential and use it to estimate errors.

• Explain the relationship between the tangent plane, the linearization equation, andthe di↵erential.

• Compute the tangent plane from information about the function’s value and partialderivative values.

• Use linearization to interpolate between numerical values in a 2 x 2 talbe.

135


Tangent line:

Tangent plane:

136


Example. Find the tangent plane to the surface z = y2� x2 at the point (1, 2, 3).

137


Find a general formula for the tangent plane of z = f (x, y) at the point (x0, y0, z0).

Notice that this formula is analogous to the formula for a tangent line for a function ofone variable.

138


Usually, the tangent plane at a point (x0, y0, z0) is a good approximation of the surfacenear that point.

Example. Find the tangent plane for the surface z = f (x, y) when (x, y) = (1, 1), wheref (x, y) = 1 � xy cos(⇡y). Use it to approximate f (1.02, 0.97).

139


Example. Suppose we have a surface z = f (x, y) and we know that f (1, 2) = 6, fx(1, 2) =�7 and fy(1, 2) = 4. What is the equation for the tangent plane to the surface at thepoint (1, 2, 6)?

140


Example. Find the tangent plane for the surface z = sin(x)+ y2 at (x, y) = (0, 2) and useit to approximate sin(0.2) + (1.9)2

141


This method of approximating a function’s value with the height of the tangent planecan be written in terms of a linearization equation or in the language of di↵erentials.

Definition. The linearization of f (x, y) is written as:

Recall: In Calc 1, for a function y = f (x), the di↵erential was defined as d f = f 0(x)dx.

Definition. The di↵erential for the function y = f (x, y) is:

142


� f represents the actual change in a function f (x, y) � f (a, b). d f represents the corre-sponding change in the tangent plane between (a, b) and (x, y).

Di↵erentials are useful for estimating errors and making approximations, because thedi↵erential is linear in all its variables, and linear functions are easier to calculate.

143


Example. Use di↵erentials to estimate the amount of metal in a closed cylindrical canthat is 10 cm high and 4 cm in diameter if the metal in the top and bottom is 0.1 cmthick and the metal in the sides is 0.05 cm thick.

144


Example. Four positive numbers, each less than 50, are rounded to the first decimalplace and multiplied together. Use di↵erentials to estimate the maximum possibleerror in the computed product that might result from the rounding.

145


When the tangent plane approximation works and when it doesn’t.

Note. Anytime fx and fy exist at a point (a, b), it is possible to write down an equationfor a tangent plane at the point where (x, y) = (a, b).

• Usually ...

• Sometimes ...

Definition. (Informal definition) A function is f is called di↵erentiable at (a, b) if ...

Theorem. If fx and fy exist in near (a, b) and are at (a, b), then f isdi↵erentiable at (a, b).

146


Example. Here is an example of a function that is not di↵erentiable at (x, y) = (0, 0).

f (x, y) =

8>><>>:xy

x2+y2 if (x, y) , (0, 0)

0 if (x, y) = (0, 0)

Question. In what sense is the tangent plane not a good approximation to the function?

Question. Is this function continuous at (0, 0)?

147


Question. What was the relationship between di↵erentiability and continuity in Cal-culus 1?

Question. What is the relationship between di↵erentiability and continuity for func-tions of several variables?

148


Recap: The tangent plane, the linearization, and the di↵erential are related as follows:
