14 PARTIAL DERIVATIVES

PARTIAL DERIVATIVES So far, we have dealt with the calculus of functions of a single variable. However, in the real world, physical quantities often depend on two or more variables.

PARTIAL DERIVATIVES So, in this chapter, we: Turn our attention to functions of several variables. Extend the basic ideas of differential calculus to such functions.

Functions of Several Variables PARTIAL DERIVATIVES 14.1 Functions of Several Variables In this section, we will learn about: Functions of two or more variables and how to produce their graphs.

FUNCTIONS OF SEVERAL VARIABLES In this section, we study functions of two or more variables from four points of view: Verbally (a description in words) Numerically (a table of values) Algebraically (an explicit formula) Visually (a graph or level curves)

FUNCTIONS OF TWO VARIABLES The temperature T at a point on the surface of the earth at any given time depends on the longitude x and latitude y of the point. We can think of T as being a function of the two variables x and y, or as a function of the pair (x, y). We indicate this functional dependence by writing: T = f(x, y)

FUNCTIONS OF TWO VARIABLES The volume V of a circular cylinder depends on its radius r and its height h. In fact, we know that V = πr2h. We say that V is a function of r and h. We write V(r, h) = πr2h.

FUNCTION OF TWO VARIABLES A function f of two variables is a rule that assigns to each ordered pair of real numbers (x, y) in a set D a unique real number denoted by (x, y). The set D is the domain of f. Its range is the set of values that f takes on, that is, {f(x, y) | (x, y)  D}

FUNCTIONS OF TWO VARIABLES We often write z = f(x, y) to make explicit the value taken on by f at the general point (x, y). The variables x and y are independent variables. z is the dependent variable. Compare this with the notation y = f(x) for functions of a single variable.

FUNCTIONS OF TWO VARIABLES A function of two variables is just a function whose: Domain is a subset of R2 Range is a subset of R

FUNCTIONS OF TWO VARIABLES One way of visualizing such a function is by means of an arrow diagram, where the domain D is represented as a subset of the xy-plane.

FUNCTIONS OF TWO VARIABLES If a function f is given by a formula and no domain is specified, then the domain of f is understood to be: The set of all pairs (x, y) for which the given expression is a well-defined real number.

FUNCTIONS OF TWO VARIABLES Example 1 For each of the following functions, evaluate f(3, 2) and find the domain. a. b.

FUNCTIONS OF TWO VARIABLES Example 1 a The expression for f makes sense if the denominator is not 0 and the quantity under the square root sign is nonnegative. So, the domain of f is: D = {(x, y) |x + y + 1 ≥ 0, x ≠ 1}

FUNCTIONS OF TWO VARIABLES Example 1 a The inequality x + y + 1 ≥ 0, or y ≥ –x – 1, describes the points that lie on or above the line y = –x – 1 x ≠ 1 means that the points on the line x = 1 must be excluded from the domain.

FUNCTIONS OF TWO VARIABLES Example 1 b f(3, 2) = 3 ln(22 – 3) = 3 ln 1 = 0 Since ln(y2 – x) is defined only when y2 – x > 0, that is, x < y2, the domain of f is: D = {(x, y)| x < y2

FUNCTIONS OF TWO VARIABLES Example 1 b This is the set of points to the left of the parabola x = y2.

FUNCTIONS OF TWO VARIABLES Not all functions are given by explicit formulas. The function in the next example is described verbally and by numerical estimates of its values.
