Higher Order Derivatives Since f x and f y are functions of x and y , we can take derivatives of f x and f y to get second derivatives .Ā  There are four such second derivatives, since each time we can differentiate with respect to x or y .Ā  Each of these second derivatives has multiple notations, and we have listed some of them. Notation for second partial derivatives ( f x ) x = f x x = f 11 = āˆ‚ āˆ‚ x ( āˆ‚ f āˆ‚ x ) = āˆ‚ 2 f āˆ‚ x 2 = āˆ‚ 2 z āˆ‚ x 2 ( f x ) y = f x y = f 12 = āˆ‚ āˆ‚ y ( āˆ‚ f āˆ‚ x ) = āˆ‚ 2 f āˆ‚ y āˆ‚ x = āˆ‚ 2 z āˆ‚ y āˆ‚ x ( f y ) x = f y x = f 21 = āˆ‚ āˆ‚ x ( āˆ‚ f āˆ‚ y ) = āˆ‚ 2 f āˆ‚ x āˆ‚ y = āˆ‚ 2 z āˆ‚ x āˆ‚ y ( f y ) y = f y y = f 22 = āˆ‚ āˆ‚ y ( āˆ‚ f āˆ‚ y ) = āˆ‚ 2 f āˆ‚ y 2 = āˆ‚ 2 z āˆ‚ y 2 A nice result regarding second partial derivatives is Clairaut's Theorem , which tells us that the mixed variable partial derivatives are equal. Clairaut's Theorem If f x y and f y x are both defined and continuous in a region containing the point ( a , b ) , then f x y ( a , b ) = f y x ( a , b ) . A consequence of this theorem is that we don't need to keep track of the order in which we take derivatives.Ā  Example 1 :Ā  Let f ( x , y ) = 3 x 2 āˆ’ 4 y 3 āˆ’ 7 x 2 y 3 .Ā  Previously, we determined that f x = 6 x āˆ’ 14 x y 3 and f y = āˆ’ 12 y 2 āˆ’ 21 x 2 y 2 .Ā  We have four second derivatives, but as Clairaut's Theorem tells us, f x y = f y x , so we really only need to compute three of them (we do all four to illustrate the theorem). Solution 1 : ( f x ) x = āˆ‚ āˆ‚ x f x = āˆ‚ āˆ‚ x ( 6 x āˆ’ 14 x y 3 ) = 6 āˆ’ 14 y 3 ( f x ) y = āˆ‚ āˆ‚ y f x = āˆ‚ āˆ‚ y ( 6 x āˆ’ 14 x y 3 ) = 0 āˆ’ 42 x y 2 = āˆ’ 42 x y 2 ( f y ) x = āˆ‚ āˆ‚ x f y = āˆ‚ āˆ‚ x ( 12 y 2 āˆ’ 21 x 2 y 2 ) = 0 āˆ’ 42 x y 2 = āˆ’ 42 x y 2 ( f y ) y = āˆ‚ āˆ‚ y f y = āˆ‚ āˆ‚ y ( 12 y 2 āˆ’ 21 x 2 y 2 ) = 24 y āˆ’ 42 x 2 y Higher partial derivatives and Clairaut's theorem are explained in the following video.

### Higher Order Derivatives Since f x and f y are functions of x and y, **we can take derivatives of f x and f y to get second derivatives**. There are four such second derivatives, since each time we can differentiate with respect to x or y. Each of these second derivatives has multiple notations, and we have listed some of them. **Notation for second partial derivatives** ( f x ) x \= f x x \= f 11 \= āˆ‚ āˆ‚ x ( āˆ‚ f āˆ‚ x ) \= āˆ‚ 2 f āˆ‚ x 2 \= āˆ‚ 2 z āˆ‚ x 2 ( f x ) y \= f x y \= f 12 \= āˆ‚ āˆ‚ y ( āˆ‚ f āˆ‚ x ) \= āˆ‚ 2 f āˆ‚ y āˆ‚ x \= āˆ‚ 2 z āˆ‚ y āˆ‚ x ( f y ) x \= f y x \= f 21 \= āˆ‚ āˆ‚ x ( āˆ‚ f āˆ‚ y ) \= āˆ‚ 2 f āˆ‚ x āˆ‚ y \= āˆ‚ 2 z āˆ‚ x āˆ‚ y ( f y ) y \= f y y \= f 22 \= āˆ‚ āˆ‚ y ( āˆ‚ f āˆ‚ y ) \= āˆ‚ 2 f āˆ‚ y 2 \= āˆ‚ 2 z āˆ‚ y 2 A nice result regarding second partial derivatives is **Clairaut's Theorem**, which tells us that the mixed variable partial derivatives are equal. **Clairaut's Theorem** If f x y and f y x are both defined and continuous in a region containing the point ( a , b ) , then f x y ( a , b ) \= f y x ( a , b ) . A consequence of this theorem is that we don't need to keep track of the order in which we take derivatives. **Example 1**: Let f ( x , y ) \= 3 x 2 āˆ’ 4 y 3 āˆ’ 7 x 2 y 3. Previously, we determined that f x \= 6 x āˆ’ 14 x y 3 and f y \= āˆ’ 12 y 2 āˆ’ 21 x 2 y 2. We have four second derivatives, but as Clairaut's Theorem tells us, f x y \= f y x, so we really only need to compute three of them (we do all four to illustrate the theorem). **Solution 1**: ( f x ) x \= āˆ‚ āˆ‚ x f x \= āˆ‚ āˆ‚ x ( 6 x āˆ’ 14 x y 3 ) \= 6 āˆ’ 14 y 3 ( f x ) y \= āˆ‚ āˆ‚ y f x \= āˆ‚ āˆ‚ y ( 6 x āˆ’ 14 x y 3 ) \= 0 āˆ’ 42 x y 2 \= āˆ’ 42 x y 2 ( f y ) x \= āˆ‚ āˆ‚ x f y \= āˆ‚ āˆ‚ x ( 12 y 2 āˆ’ 21 x 2 y 2 ) \= 0 āˆ’ 42 x y 2 \= āˆ’ 42 x y 2 ( f y ) y \= āˆ‚ āˆ‚ y f y \= āˆ‚ āˆ‚ y ( 12 y 2 āˆ’ 21 x 2 y 2 ) \= 24 y āˆ’ 42 x 2 y Higher partial derivatives and Clairaut's theorem are explained in the following video.
