a function $g(u)$ with continuous second derivative is given and f is defined by $f(x,y)=g(\frac{x}{y})$ for $y\neq 0$ how would you calculate $f_{yx}$.
I am very confused as to how to even approach this question since I am used to drawing dependency diagrams and working from there but I can't seem to make the connections for this question
First you find $f_y=g'(x/y)(-x/{y^2})$
This is a product and you want to differentiate with respect to $x$
$$f_{yx}=g''(x/y)(1/y)(-x/{y^2})+g'(x/y)(-1/{y^2})$$
