This tool calculates the partial derivative of a given multivariable function with respect to one of its variables.
How to Use the Partial Derivative Calculator
To use this calculator, enter a multivariable function in terms of x, y, and z in the input field provided. Select the variable with respect to which you want to take the partial derivative from the dropdown menu. Click “Calculate” to see the result. The calculator will compute the partial derivative of the given function with respect to the specified variable using numerical differentiation.
Example
For the function 3*x*y + 2*y*z - z*x^2, if you want to find the partial derivative with respect
to x, you would enter “3*x*y + 2*y*z – z*x^2” in the function input field, select “x” from the dropdown,
and click “Calculate”. The result will be displayed in the result field.
Limitations
Please note that this calculator uses numerical differentiation, which means it approximates the derivative using finite differences. This method can introduce small numerical errors, especially for functions with rapid changes. The default evaluation point is (x=1, y=1, z=1). For more precise calculations, it is recommended to verify the results using symbolic differentiation when possible.
