Explain partial differentiation

    Open in App
    Solution

    A partial derivative of a function of several variables is its derivative with respect to one of those variables, with the others held constant (as opposed to the total derivative, in which all variables are allowed to vary).
    The partial derivative of a function f(x, y, ...) with respect to the variable x is variously denoted by
    fxfxxf,Dxf,D1f,xf, or fx
