Applications of Partial Differentiation

 

 


If u and v be continuous and differentiable functions of two other independent variables x and y such as

, then we define the determine

Let f(x, y) be a continuous function of x & y. Let be the increments x & y resp. Then the value of f(x, y) will be

Expanding above expression by taylor’s theorem & since are very small Hence their product and higher powers are negligible and hence neglected we get,

i.e.

Similarly,

If f be a function of variables x, y, z, t, ………. Then we have

Note that

  1. dx, dy, dz, ……. may be taken as actual errors or interments in x, y, z ……… resp. while df is the approximate error in f.
  2. ……….. denotes relative errors in x, y, z,………….. resp.
  3. ………….
  4. Denotes percentage errors in, x, y, z, …………. resp.

 

Ex.

Q1) Find the percentage error in the area of an ellipse where error of ly is made in measuring it’s major and minor axes.

S1)

Let A be the area of an ellipse and ‘a’ & ‘b’ are its semi major and minor axes

Taking log on both sides.

Differentiating we get,

Percentage error ion the area of an ellipse = 2%

 

 

 

Q2) The density of a body is calculated from its’s weight W in air and win water if error are made in , find the error in .

S2)

We know that,

Taking log on both sides we get,

Diff. we get,

 

Is the required error in density.

 

 

Q3) Find the percentage error in computing the parallel resistance r of three resistances r1, r2, r3 from the formula.

r1, r2, r3 are each in error of 1 & 2y.

 

Q4) Find the approximate value of

If , find the approximate value of f if x = 1.99, y = 3.01, z = 0.98.

 


 

Let z = f(x, y)

Now for stationary point dz = 0

&

This gives the set of values of x and y for which maxima or minim occurs

Now find

We called it as r, s, t resp.

Thus function has maximum or minimum

if rt – s2 >0

i.e.

further if

  1. ; function is minimum at (x, y) &
  2. ; Function is maximum at (x, y)

Note that

  1. If ; then function will not have either maxima or minima such point is called saddle point.
  2. If ; then more details are required to justly maxima or minima

 

Ex. Discuss the stationary values of

 

Ex. Find the values of x and y for which x2 + y2 + 6x = 12 has a minimum values and find its minimum value.

Divide 120 into three parts so that the sum of their product. Taken two at a times shall be maximum.

Using Lagrange’s method divide 24 into three parts. Such that continued product of the first, square of second, cube of third may be maximum.

Q1) Decampere a positive number ‘a’ in to three parts, so their product is maximum

S1)

Let x, y, z be the three parts of ‘a’ then we get.

    … (1)

Here we have to maximize the product

i.e.
