Step 1: Compute partial derivatives.
To find \( f_x(1, 1) \) and \( f_y(1, 1) \), we compute the partial derivatives of \( f(x, y) \) with respect to \( x \) and \( y \). We then evaluate them at \( (1, 1) \).
Step 2: Simplify and calculate.
After computing the derivatives and evaluating at \( (1, 1) \), we get the result:
\[
f_x(1, 1) = 0, f_y(1, 1) = 0
\]
Thus, \( f_x(1, 1) + f_y(1, 1) = 0 \).
Step 3: Conclusion.
The correct answer is \( \boxed{0} \).
