QuestionAnswer
What is the Chain rule for partial derivatives? dz/dt= (dz/dx)*(dx/dt)+(dz/dy)*(dy/dt)
How do you find the domain of a multi-variable function? Find any points at which f(x,y) is undefined and put it in the form x+y>0
What does the partial derivative of a function represent? the slope of the tangent plane, and instantaneous rate of change.
How do you find the best dimensions for a box? write out what you know. xyz=32 Sub out the Z variable. Using this new information make an equation for the quantity that your trying to optimize.
How do you find the tangent plane to a function? Z=Z0+fx(X0,Y0)(X-X0)+fy(X0,Y0)(Y-Y0)
How do you find the gradient vector? del f(X0,Y0)=fx(X0,Y0)I + fy(X0,Y0)J
How do you find the directional derivative? del f . unit vector
How do you find a unit vector? A/|A|
How do you find the local maxs and mins in higher dimensions? Find the critical points, (fx=0,fy=0), find f''(x,y)if its negative then its concave down meaning there's a maximum value, if its positive then its concave up meaning there's a minimum value.
How do you find D using the second order partial test?? |fxx fxy| |fxy fyy|
How do you apply the second order partial test? -if D>0 and fxx>0 then theres a local min@(X0,Y0) -if D>0 and fxx<0 then theres a local max@(X0,Y0) -if D<0 then theres no extreme value and its a saddle point.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
