Given two position vectors x and h, Taylor's formula up to order two can be written as:
(See attachment)
a) Write down Taylor's formula in two variables (x,y) with h = (h,k)^T, using Di to denote partial derivatives.
b) State the conditions that partial derivatives commute, namely, D1D2f = D2D1f (See attachment)
c) Given f(x,y) = cos(x^2 + y) show by direct calculation that D1D2f = D2D1f
