In this task we are in essence asked to verify that the mixed partial derivatives theorem holds for the given function w(x,y)w(x,y). The theorem states that if both first and second order partial derivatives are continuous, then the mixed partial derivatives wxyw_{xy} and wyxw_{yx} are the same. The procedure we will use here is straightforward, we will first find wyxw_{yx} and then we will find wxyw_{xy}. After finding both expressions, we will compare them to verify the result.
