Answer

$f_{xx}=0$ $f_{yy}=4xe^{-2y}$ $f_{xy}=f_{yx}=-2e^{-2y}$

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: $z_{x}=e^{-2y}$ $z_{y}=-2xe^{-2y}$ Then take the derivative of the first order partial derivatives to find second partial derivatives: $f_{xx}=0$ $f_{yy}=4xe^{-2y}$ Second partial derivatives of first order partial derivative of x with respect to y and y with respect to x are the same: $f_{xy}=f_{yx}=-2e^{-2y}$
