Avg difficulty 2.5
  1. If f(x,y)=3x3−2x2y5f(x,y) = 3x^3 - 2x^2y^5, find the partial derivatives fxf_x and fyf_y.

  2. If f(x,y)=xy2x+1f(x,y) = \displaystyle\frac{xy^2}{x+1}, compute ∂f/∂x\partial f/\partial x and ∂f/∂y\partial f/\partial y.

  3. If g(r,s)=rscos⁡(r)g(r,s) = rs\cos(r), find the partial derivatives grg_r and gsg_s.

  4. Find all possible first-order partial derivatives of q(x,t,z)=x2tz31+x2.q(x,t,z) = \displaystyle \frac{x2^tz^3}{1+x^2}.
