Question 11521: Collect the Two Coordinate Partials in Their Declared Order

Original question and givens

Use coefficients=[8, -2, 3, 1, 1, -1] in the fixed order [1,x,y,x²,x*y,y²]. A partial derivative fixes the other coordinate and is defined by the one-variable difference-quotient limit as nonzero h tends to 0; the exercise uses exact polynomial differentiation, not a single finite-difference sample. Existence of partial derivatives alone establishes no general continuity, total differentiability or exchange of mixed derivatives. x=-2, y=3. Give (coefficients,x,y,[partial_x,partial_y]) in this fixed real coordinate model.

Step-by-step derivation

original coefficients=[8, -2, 3, 1, 1, -1];basis=[1,x,y,x^2,xy,y^2]

u(x,y)=(8)+(-2)*x+(3)*y+(1)*x^2+(1)*x*y+(-1)*y^2

x partial slice fixed coordinate squared := mul(3, 3)

x partial slice fixed coordinate squared = 9

x partial slice fixed linear term := mul(3, 3)

x partial slice fixed linear term = 9

x partial slice fixed square term := mul(-1, 9)

x partial slice fixed square term = -9

x partial slice constant coefficient := sum(8, 9, -9)

x partial slice constant coefficient = 8

x partial slice cross contribution := mul(1, 3)

x partial slice cross contribution = 3

x partial slice linear coefficient := sum(-2, 3)

x partial slice linear coefficient = 1

x partial slice:vary x;fix y=3;original coefficients=[8, -2, 3, 1, 1, -1]

ascending x slice coefficients=[8, 1, 1]

x partial:g(t)=(8)+(1)*t+(1)*t^2;point=-2;h!=0

g(-2+h)-g(-2)=(1)*h+(1)*(2*(-2)*h+h^2)

x partial twice quadratic coefficient := mul(2, 1)

x partial twice quadratic coefficient = 2

x partial derivative point term := mul(2, -2)

x partial derivative point term = -4

x partial derivative value := sum(1, -4)

x partial derivative value = -3

x partial:h!=0;increment=h*((1)+2*(1)*(-2)+(1)*h)

difference quotient=-3+(1)*h

x partial:quotient=-3+(1)*h;epsilon>0;delta=epsilon/1

0<abs(h)<delta gives abs(quotient-(-3))=abs(1)*abs(h)<epsilon;limit=-3

y partial slice fixed coordinate squared := mul(-2, -2)

y partial slice fixed coordinate squared = 4

y partial slice fixed linear term := mul(-2, -2)

y partial slice fixed linear term = 4

y partial slice fixed square term := mul(1, 4)

y partial slice fixed square term = 4

y partial slice constant coefficient := sum(8, 4, 4)

y partial slice constant coefficient = 16

y partial slice cross contribution := mul(1, -2)

y partial slice cross contribution = -2

y partial slice linear coefficient := sum(3, -2)

y partial slice linear coefficient = 1

y partial slice:vary y;fix x=-2;original coefficients=[8, -2, 3, 1, 1, -1]

ascending y slice coefficients=[16, 1, -1]

y partial:g(t)=(16)+(1)*t+(-1)*t^2;point=3;h!=0

g(3+h)-g(3)=(1)*h+(-1)*(2*(3)*h+h^2)

y partial twice quadratic coefficient := mul(2, -1)

y partial twice quadratic coefficient = -2

y partial derivative point term := mul(-2, 3)

y partial derivative point term = -6

y partial derivative value := sum(1, -6)

y partial derivative value = -5

y partial:h!=0;increment=h*((1)+2*(-1)*(3)+(-1)*h)

difference quotient=-5+(-1)*h

y partial:quotient=-5+(-1)*h;epsilon>0;delta=epsilon/1

0<abs(h)<delta gives abs(quotient-(-5))=abs(-1)*abs(h)<epsilon;limit=-5

x partial=-3;y partial=-5
