Hi there.
00:01
In this problem, we're asked to find the partial derivatives of this function here with respect to x and y.
00:07
So let's begin with x.
00:11
Now, the first thing to notice is that we have a product here.
00:15
We have one function of x and y, in this case it's just of x, times another function of x and y.
00:24
So we'll use the product just as we always have.
00:28
So we know what the product rule says.
00:30
It depends what order you tend to do it in.
00:32
It doesn't matter.
00:32
Let's not.
00:33
Just do it in this order where we have the first function as it is, no derivative, times the derivative of the second function.
00:45
Now, be careful.
00:46
When we say derivative now, we mean the partial derivative with respect to x.
00:51
So the partial with respect to x of this second function.
00:55
Okay.
00:58
Now, plus, now again, according to the product rule, we need now the first derivative.
01:04
I'm sorry, we need the derivative of the first function here.
01:08
And again, when we say derivative, we mean the partial with respect to x of e to the minus x, and then times just the second function as it is no derivative.
01:20
So it's just the product tool we've always known and used.
01:23
The only difference is when we take derivatives now, it matters which variable we're taking the partial derivative with respect to.
01:29
In this case, it's x.
01:31
Okay.
01:33
Let's see.
01:34
Let's actually take this derivative now.
01:36
The derivative of sine of x plus y with respect to x.
01:41
Notice we'll need a chain rule here since we have a function inside of a function.
01:46
So keep everything blue that's part of this derivative.
01:50
The derivative of sine is cosine.
01:54
We leave the argument, x plus y, just as we always do.
01:58
We keep that the same.
01:59
But now by the chain rule, we need to multiply by the derivative of this inner function, the x plus y.
02:06
And again, when we say derivative, what we mean is the partial with respect to x of x plus y.
02:17
Okay.
02:19
Now over here, this is a little easier.
02:21
The partial with respect to x of e to the minus x, there's not even a y in here.
02:26
So this will be just like we've always been used to for many, many months now.
02:30
The derivative here, we get e to the x or e to the minus x.
02:34
And then by the chain rule, we need to multiply by the derivative of minus x, which is minus 1.
02:38
So we put a minus in front.
02:42
And we'll keep sine of x plus y there.
02:44
Okay.
02:46
So the only thing we really have to do still, i'm just going to keep everything we have.
02:53
We still have to take this derivative.
02:55
This finally is a little faster.
02:57
The partial derivative of x plus y with respect to x...
