Answer

$h_{xx}=0$ $h_{yy}=xe^y$ $h_{xy}=h_{yx}=e^y$

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: $h_x=e^y$ $h_y=xe^y+1$ Then take the derivative of the first order partial derivatives to find second partial derivatives: $h_{xx}=0$ $h_{yy}=xe^y$ Second partial derivatives of first order partial derivative of x with respect to y and y with respect to x are the same: $h_{xy}=h_{yx}=e^y$
