Question: You are told that there i s a function f whose partial derivatives are f x ( x , y ) = 5 y +

You are told that there is a function f whose partial derivatives are fx(x,y)=5y+x and fy(x,y)=5x-y.
One way to verify this claim isto integrate fx and fy with respect tox and y respectively:
(a)(i) Integrate fx with respect tox and call the antiderivative f1(x,y). You can keep or ignore the constant of integration in your answer.
f1(x,y)=
(a)(ii) Integrate fy with respect toy and call the antiderivative f2(x,y). You can keep or ignore the constant of integration in your answer.
f2(x,y)=
(b) Now, compare delf1dely with fy and delf2delx with fx.Isit possible for fto exist?
False
(c)Is there an easier way of verifying whether such anf exists?
Yes there is; simply compare the derivative offxw.r.ty and that of
No, the process above is the only way.
Yes there is; provided that we are given two points of the function f
True
