# 42.  If   z = x 3 − 4 x 2 y + 5 y 3 ,  find  z y y x .

To determine

To calculate: The third partial derivative zyyx of the function z=x34x2y+5y3.

Explanation

Given Information:

The provided function is z=x34x2y+5y3.

Formula used:

For a function z(x,y), the third partial derivative, when first derivative is taken with respect to y and second derivative is taken with respect to y and third derivative is taken with respect to x is zyyx=3zxyy=x(y(zy)).

Power of x rule for a real number n is such that, if f(x)=xn then f(x)=nxn1.

Constant function rule for a constant c is such that, if f(x)=c then f(x)=0.

Coefficient rule for a constant c is such that, if f(x)=cu(x), where u(x) is a differentiable function of x, then f(x)=cu(x).

Calculation:

Consider the function, z=x34x2y+5y3
