Answer

fy(2,2)=22

Steps

Step 1 :The function given is f(x,y)=x2+y2.

Step 2 :The partial derivative of a function with respect to a variable is the derivative of the function with respect to that variable, treating all other variables as constants.

Step 3 :To find fx and fy, we need to take the derivative of f(x,y) with respect to x and y respectively.

Step 4 :The partial derivative of f(x,y) with respect to x is fx=xx2+y2.

Step 5 :The partial derivative of f(x,y) with respect to y is fy=yx2+y2.

Step 6 :To find fx(5,1) and fy(2,2), we substitute these values into the partial derivatives we found.

Step 7 :The value of fx at the point (5,1) is fx(5,1)=526.

Step 8 :The value of fy at the point (2,2) is fy(2,2)=28=22.

Step 9 :fx=xx2+y2

Step 10 :fy=yx2+y2

Step 11 :fx(5,1)=526

Step 12 :fy(2,2)=22
