# Math Help - Partial derivatives problem

1. ## Partial derivatives problem

This was confusing me so any help would be appreciated!

For each of the following partial derivatives, give a possible F(x,y).

1) derivative with respect to y = x^2 divided by y
2) derivative with respect to y = xe raised to the xy

Is this the entire question?

I'll edit that first post.

if d/dy F(x,y)=x^2/y

then

F(x,y) could be x^2*ln(y)

or x^2*ln(y)+sin(x^234)*e^(x^1/5)

or

x^2*ln(y)+g(x)

where g(x) does not depend on y

there are others

Or is there...hmmm.
