Hints:
If you mean the partial derivative of f w/r to y, [ ∂f / ∂y ] , then the partial deriv of f_y w/r to x, then the partial derivative of f_yx w/r to y then do it in stages.. w/r = with respect to
[ Don't forget to choose a Best Answer... hope no one just gives you all the steps and solution.. you won't learn then ]
f_y = differentiate the y values only treat everything else, incl. x , as a constant f_y = 5 x^8 y^4 - 4 x^7
Now take this answer and take deriv of x, treat y and 5, and 4 as constant [ you do this step ]
Now take that answer, which is f_yx and take deriv of y again, treat x and other terms as constants....
I got f_yxy = # x^7 y^3 you find the #
{ BTW f_xyy and f_yyx also same exact answer as above... so order does not matter ... There may be conditions where the order matters, I don't recall what those condition are :( }
