Find the indicated partial derivative.
fx for f(x,y) = x2y - ln(2x-y)
hxy for h(x,y,z) = xz - x2y3z2 - ln(yz)
Find an equation z-z' = fx(x', y')(x-x') + fy(x', y')(y-y') of the tangent plane to the surface f(x,y) = tan-1(y/x) at the point (1, √(3), π/3)
Calculate the total differential dz = fx dx + fy dy for f(x,y) = 1 - x sin (y)
Use the Chain Rule to calculate dz/dt if z = xy + ey, x(t) = tet, and y(t)=1 - t3.
Find the gradient f for f(x,y) = xy - y2 +ex at the point (0, 3, -8)

Use the replacement chain approach to compute the NPV
: You are evaluating two projects. You may accept only one of them. Project one will cost $379,000 initially and will pay $134,000 each year for the next 5 years. Project two will cost $454,000 initially, but will pay $101,000 for the next 10 years. Th..

What experimental apparatus would you want to use
: Does the fact that Maxwell's equations do not need to be modi?ed because of the special theory of relativity, whereas Newton's laws of motion do, mean that Maxwell's work is somehow greater or more signi?cant than Newton's? Explain.
