Q. 52

Question

Find all points where the first-order partial derivatives of the functions in Exercises 43–54 are continuous. Then use Theorems 12.28 and 12.31 to determine the sets in which the functions are differentiable f(x,y)=lnxy2.

Answer

The answer for the equationf(x,y)=lnxy2 is  3 x-2 y-3 z=2.4084 .

1Step1: Given.

Given  f(x,y)=lnxy2 at point P=x0,y0=(1,-3)

The equation of line of tangent is

fxx0,y0x-x0+fyx0,y0y-y0=z-fx0,y0

fx(1,-3)(x-1)+fy(1,-3)(y+3)=z-f(1,-3)               (1)

2Step2: Considering.

fxx0,y0=ddxf(x,y)x0,y0=ddxlnxy2x0,y0

fxx0,y0=ddxlnxy2ddxxy2x0,y0

fxx0,y0=1xy2·y2x0,y0

fxx0,y0=1xx0,y0

fx(1,-3)=11(1,-3)

fx(1,-3)=1                                                      (2)

3Step3: Equation 3 .

fyx0,y0=ddyf(x,y)x0,y0=ddylnxy2x0,y0

fyx0,y0=ddylnxy2ddyxy2x0,y0

fyx0,y0=1xy2·2xyx0,y0

fy(1,-3)=2y(1,-3)

fy(1,-3)=-23                              (3)

4Step4: Equation 4 .

fx0,y0=f(1,-3)=ln1·(-3)2

f(1,-3)=ln(9)

f(1,-3)=2.1972                                          (4)

5Step5: Substituting equation ( 2 ) , ( 3 )   a n d   ( 4 ) in ( 1 ) to get.

1(x-1)-23(y+3)=z-2.1972

x-1-23y-2-z=-2.1972

x-23y-z=-2.1972+1+2

x-23y-z=0.8028

Multiply by 3 on both sides, get

  3 x-2 y-3 z=2.4084
