Answer

$f_{xx}=24x$ $f_{yy}=-2x$ $f_{xy}=f_{yx}=-2y$

Work Step by Step

Take the first partial derivatives of the given function. When taking partial derivative with respect to x, treat y as a constant, and vice versa: $f_{x}=12x^2-y^2$ $f_{y}=-2xy$ Then take the derivative of the first order partial derivatives to find second partial derivatives: $f_{xx}=24x$ $f_{yy}=-2x$ Second partial derivatives of first order partial derivative of x with respect to y and y with respect to x are the same: $f_{xy}=f_{yx}=-2y$
