Question 11

Find \(fx, fy, fxx, fyy, fxy\) and \(fyx\) when \(f(x, y) =\frac{x}{y}\)

A. \(\\[.1in]\) \(fx = \frac{1}{y}\)

B. \(\\[.1in]\) \(fy = \frac{-x}{y^2}\)

C. \(\\[.1in]\) \(fxx = 0\)

D. \(\\[.1in]\) \(fyy = \frac{-2^x}{y^3}\)

E. \(\\[.1in]\) \(fxy = \frac{-1}{y^2}\)

F. \(\\[.1in]\) \(fyx = \frac{-1}{y^2}\)

 

What were the most valuable elements you took away from this course?

Coming from a non mathmatical background, this course has given me a solid foundation on which to further research the concepts covered in the class and apply them to software engineering. In particular, I found the probability and linear regression sections of the course interesting as these concepts are valuable when it comes to writing predictive software applications; something that greatly interests me.
