Step 1
Here given as
$$\displaystyle{f{{\left({x},{y}\right)}}}={3}{x}^{{{2}}}{y}-{6}{x}{y}^{{{4}}}$$
Now
$$\displaystyle{\frac{{\partial{f}}}{{\partial{x}}}}={\frac{{\partial}}{{\partial{x}}}}{\left({3}{x}^{{{2}}}{y}-{6}{x}{y}^{{{4}}}\right)}$$
$$\displaystyle={\left({6}{x}{y}-{6}{y}^{{{4}}}\right)}$$
$$\displaystyle{\frac{{\partial^{{{2}}}{f}}}{{\partial{x}^{{{2}}}}}}={\frac{{\partial}}{{\partial{x}}}}{\left({6}{x}{y}-{6}{y}^{{{4}}}\right)}$$
$$\displaystyle\Rightarrow{\frac{{\partial^{{{2}}}{f}}}{{\partial{x}^{{{2}}}}}}={6}{y}$$
Step 2
Thus
$$\displaystyle{\frac{{\partial{f}}}{{\partial{y}}}}={\frac{{\partial}}{{\partial{y}}}}{\left({3}{x}^{{{2}}}{y}-{6}{x}{y}^{{{4}}}\right)}$$
$$\displaystyle={\left({3}{x}^{{{2}}}-{24}{x}{y}^{{{3}}}\right)}$$
$$\displaystyle{\frac{{\partial^{{{2}}}{f}}}{{\partial{y}^{{{2}}}}}}={\frac{{\partial}}{{\partial{y}}}}{\left({3}{x}^{{{2}}}-{24}{x}{y}^{{{3}}}\right)}$$
$$\displaystyle\Rightarrow{\frac{{\partial^{{{2}}}{f}}}{{\partial{y}^{{{2}}}}}}-{62}{x}{y}^{{{2}}}$$
