Answer

$u_{xy}=e^{xy}\sin y(xy+1)+ye^{xy}\cos y=u_{yx}$

Work Step by Step

Consider the function $u=e^{xy}\sin y$ Need to prove the conclusion of Clairaut’s Theorem holds, that is, $u_{xy}=u_{yx}$ In order to find this differentiate the function with respect to $x$ keeping $y$ constant. $u_{x}=ye^{xy}\sin y$ Differentiate the function with respect to $y$ keeping $x$ constant. $u_{y}=xe^{xy}\sin y+e^{xy}\cos y$ Differentiate $u_{x}$ with respect to $y$ keeping $x$ constant. $u_{xy}=\frac{∂}{∂y}[ye^{xy}\sin y]$ (apply product rule) $=e^{xy}\sin y\frac{∂y}{∂y}+y\sin y\frac{∂e^{xy}}{∂y}+ye^{xy}\frac{∂(\sin y)}{∂y}$ $=e^{xy}\sin y+y\sin y(xe^{xy})+ye^{xy}\cos y$ Thus, $u_{xy}=e^{xy}\sin y(xy+1)+ye^{xy}\cos y$ Differentiate $u_{y}$ with respect to $x$ keeping $y$ constant. $u_{yx}=\frac{∂}{∂x}[xe^{xy}\sin y+ye^{xy}\cos y]$ $=\frac{∂}{∂x}[xe^{xy}\sin y]+\frac{∂}{∂x}[ye^{xy}\cos y]$ $=e^{xy}\sin y\frac{∂}{∂x}[x]+x\times\frac{∂}{∂x}[e^{xy}\sin y]+ye^{xy}\cos y$ $=e^{xy}\sin y+xy\sin y(e^{xy})+ye^{xy}\cos y$ Thus, $u_{yx}=e^{xy}\sin y(xy+1)+ye^{xy}\cos y$ Therefore, $u_{xy}=e^{xy}\sin y(xy+1)+ye^{xy}\cos y$ and $u_{yx}=e^{xy}\sin y(xy+1)+ye^{xy}\cos y$ Hence, $u_{xy}=u_{yx}$
