Solution

Sure, let's find the second order partial derivatives for the given function.

The function is f(x, y) = 4x³ + 6x²y² - 7xy³ - 8y⁴.

First, let's find the first order partial derivatives:

fx = ∂f/∂x = 12x² + 12xy² - 7y³ fy = ∂f/∂y = 12x²y - 21xy² - 32y³

Now, let's find the second order partial derivatives:

fxx = ∂²f/∂x² = 24x + 12y² fyy = ∂²f/∂y² = 12x² - 42xy - 96y² fxy = ∂²f/∂x∂y = 24xy - 21y²

As per the Schwarz's theorem, the mixed partial derivatives fxy and fyx should be equal. So, let's find fyx:

fyx = ∂²f/∂y∂x = 24xy - 21y²

As expected, fxy = fyx.
