Answer

$$\eqalign{ & {f_{xx}}\left( {x,y} \right) = 6y,\,\,\,{f_{xy}}\left( {x,y} \right) = 6x + 3{y^2} \cr & {f_{yy}}\left( {x,y} \right) = 6xy,\,\,\,{f_{yx}}\left( {x,y} \right) = 6x + 3{y^2} \cr} $$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Let }}f\left( {x,y} \right) = 3{x^2}y + x{y^3} \cr & {\text{Calculate }}{f_{xx}}\left( {x,y} \right){\text{ and }}{f_{xy}}\left( {x,y} \right) \cr & {f_x}\left( {x,y} \right) = \frac{\partial }{{\partial x}}\left[ {3{x^2}y + x{y^3}} \right] \cr & {f_x}\left( {x,y} \right) = 6xy + {y^3} \cr & {f_{xx}}\left( {x,y} \right) = \frac{\partial }{{\partial x}}\left[ {6xy + {y^3}} \right] \cr & {f_{xx}}\left( {x,y} \right) = 6y \cr & and \cr & {f_{xy}}\left( {x,y} \right) = \frac{\partial }{{\partial y}}\left[ {6xy + {y^3}} \right] \cr & {f_{xy}}\left( {x,y} \right) = 6x + 3{y^2} \cr & \cr & {\text{Calculate }}{f_{yy}}\left( {x,y} \right){\text{ and }}{f_{yx}}\left( {x,y} \right) \cr & {\text{using the product rule}} \cr & {f_y}\left( {x,y} \right) = \frac{\partial }{{\partial y}}\left[ {3{x^2}y + x{y^3}} \right] \cr & {f_y}\left( {x,y} \right) = 3{x^2} + 3x{y^2} \cr & {f_{yy}}\left( {x,y} \right) = \frac{\partial }{{\partial y}}\left[ {3{x^2} + 3x{y^2}} \right] \cr & {f_{yy}}\left( {x,y} \right) = 6xy \cr & and \cr & {f_{yx}}\left( {x,y} \right) = \frac{\partial }{{\partial x}}\left[ {3{x^2} + 3x{y^2}} \right] \cr & {f_{yx}}\left( {x,y} \right) = 6x + 3{y^2} \cr} $$
