Partial Differentiation

If

Prove that

Partial differentiation of function of function

If z = f(u) and . Then z becomes a function of x & y. In this case z becomes a function of function of x & y.

i.e.

 

Then

,

Similarly

If

Then z becomes a function of function of x, y & z.

4.     If then prove that

 

 


Partial Differentiation of composite function

a)     Let and , then z becomes a function of , In this case z is called composite function of .

i.e.

b)    Let possess continuous partial derivatives and let possess continuous partial derivatives, then z is called composite function of x and y.

i.e.

Notations of partial derivatives of variable to be treated as a constant

Let

and

i.e.

Then means partial derivative of u w.r.t. x treating y const.

To find from given reactions we first express x in terms of u & v.

i.e. & then diff. x w.r.t. u treating v constant.

To find express v as a function of y and u i.e. then diff. v w.r.t. y treating u as a const.

 

Ex. If , then find the value of

.

Ex. If , then prove that

 

 


A polynomial in x & y is said to be Homogeneous expression in x & y of degree n. if the degree of each term in the expression is same & equal to n.

e.g.

is a homogeneous function of degree 3.

To find the degree of homogeneous expression f(x, y).

  1. Consider
  2. Put . Then if we get .

Then the degree of is n.

Ex.

Consider

Put

.

Thus degree of f(x, y) is

Note that

If be a homogeneous function of degree n then z can be written as

 

Differentiation of Implicit function

Suppose that we cannot find y explicitly as a function of x. but only implicitly through the relation f(x, y) = 0.

Then we find

Since

diff. P. w.r.t. x we get

i.e.

Similarly,

it f (x, y, z) = 0 then z is called implicit function of x, y. then in this case we get
