    Multivariable Functions - stationary points

    I have the partial derivatives: fx(x,y)=(2y^2-2xy-x^2+6)/(x^2+2y^2+6)^2 fy(x,y)=(-2y^2-4xy+x^2+6)/(x^2+2y^2+6)^2 Now, for a stationary point, both these equations are equal to zero. I then have to solve these simultaneously to find values for x, which will in turn give me values for...

    Multivariable functions - chain rule

    My sheet's telling me it should be u=x+y, v=xy, but let's just say it's u=xy and v=x+y for the hell of it. How would you go about solving this problem now?

    Multivariable functions - chain rule

    You're right. It should be u=x+y This still doesn't help me though. I may be wrong, but I've got: dz/dx=dz/du.du/dx+dz/dv.dv/dx dz/dy=dz/du.du/dy+dz/dv.dv/dy as my partial fractions. But how do I get my dz/du and dz/dv when I have z=f(u,v) and not, for example, z=f(u,v)=2u+3v^2 - I'm...

    Multivariable functions - chain rule

    Homework Statement Since both my questions are on the same topic, i'll throw them both in here 1. Find dz/dt for z=(x^2)(t^2), x^2+3xt+2t^2=1 2. Show that if u=xy, v=xy and z=f(u,v) then: x.dz/dx-y.dz/dy=(x-y)dz/dv Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution 1. I only...

    Help with Eigenvectors

    So, you're telling me that I need to solve y in terms of x from that (very nice) matrix set up, then I can sub in ANY number for x that I want to get my eigenvector and have the right answer? Wouldn't this result in an infinite number of correct eigenvectors? Actually, don't worry about that, I...
