Answer

$w_{xx}=4x^2ye^{x^2-y}+2ye^{x^2-y}$ $w_{yy}=y^2e^{x^2-y}-2e^{x^2-y}$ $w_{xy}=w_{yx}=-2xye^{x^2-y}+2xe^{x^2-y}$

Work Step by Step

Our aim is to take the first partial derivative of the given function $w(x,y)$ with respect to $x$, by treating $y$ as a constant and vice versa: $w_x=2xye^{x^2-y}$ $w_y=-ye^{x^2-y}+e^{x^2-y}$ Now, compute second partial derivatives. $w_{xx}=4x^2ye^{x^2-y}+2ye^{x^2-y}$ $w_{yy}=y^2e^{x^2-y}-e^{x^2-y}-e^{x^2-y}=y^2e^{x^2-y}-2e^{x^2-y}$ and $w_{xy}=w_{yx}=-2xye^{x^2-y}+2xe^{x^2-y}$
