Implicit differentiation
Set the original function equal to zero (if the function is of the form f(x,y,z) = d
dz/dx = -Fx/Fz
The derivative with respect to x divided by the derivative with respect to z
dz/dy = -Fy/Fz
The derivative with respect to x divided by the derivative with respect to z
Implicit differentiation practice problem
x^3 + y^3 - 6xy = 0
dy/dx = ?
-Fx/Fy
-(3x^2 - 6y)/(3y^2 - 6x)
Chain rule
If you have to find the derivative of a function with respect to multiple variables (something like du/ds when you have equations for x, y, z, relative to r, s, t) what do you do?
Follow this tree
……u
../ | \
.x y z
/|\ /|\ /|\
rst rst rst
aka follow the path first to x y and z then to the bottom part (ds)
so if I followed to find the x component, I would find the u function derivative with respect to x, then the u function derivative with respect to s, then I would multiply those together. I would then do the same for y and z, then sum them together for du/ds
AFTER THE SUM YOU NEED TO SUBSTITUTE THE VARIABLES SO THAT DU/DS IS NOT RELATIVE TO X Y Z BUT RST
How to read du/dx
Derivative of the u function with respect to x
Directional Derivatives given a differentiable function with respect to x and y and u = ⟨a,b⟩
Fx(x,y)a + Fy(x,y)b
(u IS THE UNIT VECTOR)
Directional derivatives with respect to an angle (from the direction of the gradient vector) instead of u = ⟨a,b⟩
Fx(x,y)cos(theta) + Fy(x,y)sin(theta)
What is a gradient vector?
⟨Fx,Fy⟩
How can we rewrite the directional derivative with respect to the gradient vector? (f(x,y) and u = ⟨a,b⟩)
▽F * u
⟨Fx,Fy⟩ * u
(u IS THE UNIT VECTOR)
The maximum value of a directional derivative is…
|▽F|
and it occurs when u is in the same direction at the gradient vector ▽F
