The total differential of a function $z = f(x,y)$ is defined as the sum of the partial derivative of f with respect to x multiplied by dx, and the partial derivative of f with respect to y multiplied by dy. The formula is dz = (∂f/∂x)dx + (∂f/∂y)dy.

Conditions: z is a function of two variables, x and y.; The partial derivatives ∂$f/x$ and ∂$f/y$ exist.

Conditions: z is a function of two variables, x and y.; The partial derivatives ∂$f/x$ and ∂$f/y$ exist.

To find the total differential of $z = x^2y^2$, compute the partial derivatives with respect to x and y, then substitute them into the total differential formula. The result is $dz = 2$xy^$2 dx + 2x^2y dy$.

Conditions: The function is $z = x^2y^2$.; Standard rules of partial differentiation apply.

The total differential is used in solving exact differential equations and for approximating the actual change in a function's value, where dz approximates Δz.

Conditions: The context involves differential equations or function approximation.
