what is the significance of
partial derivatives.

Answer Posted / kanhaikumar

A partial derivative
basically tells you how a
function changes if I
change just one of many
variables it may depend on,
while keeping all other
variables constant.

On the other hand, a total
derivative tells you the
"TOTAL" information about
the function. It describes
how a function changes if
all (or some) variables are
changed together.

When a function depends
only on one variable then
ALL = one variable. In this
case, a partial derivative
is the same as the total
derivative
