When you have more than one independent variable.

For example:

Functions of Two Variables:

When you have two independent variables.

e.g.

Some Examples:

Partial Differentiation (OR) Partial Derivatives:

(OR)

In partial differentiation, we keep one variable as a constant.

Example 1:

Example 1:

Solution:

Taking partial derivative on both sides

Because you are differentiating with respect to you will treat as a

constant.

Therefore,

Example 2:

Solution:

Taking partial derivative on both sides

Example 3:

Solution:

Taking partial derivative on both sides
