Step 1
Calculate the partial derivatives: \( \frac{\partial f}{\partial x} = -2y \cos(x) \) and \( \frac{\partial f}{\partial y} = 2 \cos(x) \). Therefore, the gradient is \( \nabla f = (-2y \cos(x), 2 \cos(x)) \). Show more…

$21-26$ Use the Chain Rule to find the indicated partial derivatives. $$\begin{array}{ll}{z=x^{2}+x y^{3},} & {x=u v^{2}+w^{3}, \quad y=u+v e^{m}} \\ {\frac{\partial z}{\partial u}, \frac{\partial z}{\partial v}, \frac{\partial z}{\partial w}} & {\text { when } u=2, v=1, w=0}\end{array}$$
Partial Derivatives
The Chain Rule
In Problems 21-26, find the second-order partial derivatives $f_{x x}, f_{x y}, f_{y x},$ and $f_{y y} .$ Check to verify that $f_{x y}=f_{y x}$. $$ f(x, y)=\cos \left(x^{2} y^{3}\right) $$
