derivative with product rule












1












$begingroup$


I am trying to take the derivative of this function. First, I want to take the derivative of the original function, $F(x,eta)$, with respect to $eta$:



$$F(x,eta)=frac{sqrt{2}pi}{3}g(1,eta)frac{x}{[1+C(eta)(x-1)]^3}$$



Do not worry about what $g(1,eta)$ and $C(eta)$ are, just know that they are both just functions of $eta$



So, if I want to that the derivative with respect to $eta$, this is my attempt. I was hoping someone could check the work to make sure it looks ok.



$$frac{partial F}{partial eta}=frac{sqrt{2}pi}{3}left[g'(1,eta)frac{x}{[1+C(eta)(x-1)]^3}+g(1,eta)left(frac{x}{3[1+C(eta)(x-1)]^2}*frac{1}{C'(eta)(x-1)}right)right]$$



If this looks ok, I'll try and take the derivative with respect to $x$ too.

          The second term has some problems, it should be something like



          $$
          frac{partial F}{partial eta} = frac{sqrt{2}pi}{3}left[g'(1,eta) frac{x}{[1 + C(eta)(x - 1)]^3} - 3g(1,eta)left(frac{x(x -1 )C'(eta)}{[1 + C(eta)(x-1)]^4}right)right]
          $$



          which just comes from



          $$
          frac{{rm d}}{{rm d}eta} frac{1}{[f(eta)]^3} = frac{{rm d}}{{rm d}eta} [f(eta)]^{-3} = -3[f(eta)]^{-4}frac{{rm d}f(eta)}{{rm d}eta} = -3frac{1}{[f(eta)]^4} frac{{rm d}f(eta)}{{rm d}eta}
          $$



          Similarly, if you take the derivative w.r.t. $x$ you should obtain



          $$
          frac{partial F}{partial x} = frac{sqrt{2}pi}{3}g(1,eta)left[frac{1}{[1 + C(eta)(x - 1)]^3} -frac{3 x C(eta)}{[1 + C(eta)(x -1)]^4}right]
          $$

            Ok, so I see what you did, just curious though - What is the assumption that I made that is wrong? I just took the derivative, but just 1 over it. I guess I just want to know why my way is wrong, what is the wrong assumption that I am making?

            @JacksonHart You are using this $$ frac{{rm d}}{{rm d}eta} frac{1}{f(eta)} = frac{1}{{rm d}f/{rm d}eta} $$ which is not true, that is the assumption that is breaking your results

            actually, I think there may be a mistake in your solution. You have $(x-1)^3$, but note that this ^3 was outside the whole thing, not just the $x-1$. Do you see what I am talking about? The cubed is outside what you refer to as $f(eta)$

            Ok great, thanks for the help! Any chance you could also show what the solution would be for the derivative with respect to x?

            actually, I think there may be a mistake in your solution. You have $(x-1)^3$, but note that this ^3 was outside the whole thing, not just the $x-1$. Do you see what I am talking about? The cubed is outside what you refer to as $f(eta)$

          Ok, so I see what you did, just curious though - What is the assumption that I made that is wrong? I just took the derivative, but just 1 over it. I guess I just want to know why my way is wrong, what is the wrong assumption that I am making?

          @JacksonHart You are using this $$ frac{{rm d}}{{rm d}eta} frac{1}{f(eta)} = frac{1}{{rm d}f/{rm d}eta} $$ which is not true, that is the assumption that is breaking your results
