Hi, currently studying some Math over the summer. I came across this question;
I need to find \(\displaystyle dH/dt\)
\(\displaystyle H = sin(xy) - 3y\^{}^2\)
Where \(\displaystyle x = 3t + 1\) ; y = e^-t
I would really appreciate, if someone show me how to calculate the formula.
I'll do a similar but different problem for you:
\(\displaystyle H = tan(xy) - 3x^3\)
Where \(\displaystyle x = ln(t)\) ; y = e^-t
We know:
\(\displaystyle \frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{1}{t}\)
\(\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dt} = -e^{-t}\)
\(\displaystyle \frac{\partial H}{\partial x} \, = \, y \cdot sec^2(xy) \, - 9x^2\)
\(\displaystyle \frac{\partial H}{\partial y} \, = \, x \cdot sec^2(xy) \,\)
\(\displaystyle dH \, = \, \frac{\partial H}{\partial x} dx + \, \frac{\partial H}{\partial y} dy\)
\(\displaystyle \frac{dH}{dt} \, = \, \frac{\partial H}{\partial x} \frac{dx}{dt} + \, \frac{\partial H}{\partial y}\frac{dy}{dt}\)
\(\displaystyle \frac{dH}{dt} \, = \, [y \cdot sec^2(xy) \, - 9x^2]\cdot [\frac{1}{t}] \, + \, x \cdot sec^2(xy)\cdot [-e^{-t}]\)
Follow the same steps....
