Verify the conclusion of Clairut's theorem for the following function. That is, show that f xy=fyx for f(x,y)=sin(x 2y)(3) Find f xyx and f yxy of f(x,y)=sin(2x+5y) (Note that you can use Clairut's theorem at some point, but you don't have to use it. It will just save you some time if you use it correctly).

Final answer:

To verify Clairaut's theorem for the given function f(x, y) = sin(x^2y)(3), we need to find fxyx and fyxy. Applying the chain rule, we find the second-order mixed partial derivatives.

Step-by-step explanation:

To verify the conclusion of Clairaut's theorem, we need to find the second-order mixed partial derivatives of the given function f(x, y) = sin(x^2y)(3).

To find fxyx, we differentiate the function twice with respect to x and once with respect to y. Applying the chain rule, we get fxyx = (2xy cos(x^2y)+3x^2 sin(x^2y))(3).

To find fyxy, we differentiate the function twice with respect to y and once with respect to x. Again, applying the chain rule, we get fyxy = (x^4 cos(x^2y))(3).

Therefore, fxy = fyx for the given function.
