Answer

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

Work Step by Step

Our aim is to take the first partial derivative of the given function $h(x,y)$ with respect to $x$, by treating $y$ as a constant and vice versa: $h_x=e^y \implies h_y=xe^y+1$ Now, compute second partial derivatives: $h_{xx}=0 \\h_{yy}=xe^y$ and $h_{xy}=h_{yx}=e^y$
