Question:

Match the partial derivative of function \(Z=x^2+xy^2+y\).

List-IList-II
A. \(Z_x\)I. \(2y\)
B. \(Z_y\)II. \(2xy+1\)
C. \(Z_{xy}\)III. \(2x+y^2\)
D. \(Z_{yx}\)IV. \(2y\)

Show Hint

For well-behaved functions, mixed partial derivatives are equal: \(Z_{xy}=Z_{yx}\).

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Concept: Partial derivative means differentiating a function with respect to one variable while treating the other variable as constant.

Step 1:
Find \(Z_x\).
\[ Z=x^2+xy^2+y \] Differentiate with respect to \(x\): \[ Z_x=2x+y^2 \] So, \[ A \rightarrow III \]

Step 2:
Find \(Z_y\).
Differentiate with respect to \(y\): \[ Z_y=2xy+1 \] So, \[ B \rightarrow II \]

Step 3:
Find \(Z_{xy}\).
Differentiate \(Z_x=2x+y^2\) with respect to \(y\): \[ Z_{xy}=2y \] So, \[ C \rightarrow I \]

Step 4:
Find \(Z_{yx}\).
Differentiate \(Z_y=2xy+1\) with respect to \(x\): \[ Z_{yx}=2y \] So, \[ D \rightarrow IV \] Therefore, the correct matching is: \[ A-III,\ B-II,\ C-I,\ D-IV \]
