$\frac{d x}{d t} when x = ρ \sin ϕ \sin θ, ρ = \sqrt{t}, ϕ = \sqrt[3]{t}, and θ = \sqrt[4]{t}$

Short Answer

Expert verified

The value of $\frac{d x}{d t} = \frac{1}{2 t^{\frac{1}{2}}} \sin (t^{\frac{1}{3}}) \sin (t^{\frac{1}{4}}) + \frac{1}{3 t^{\frac{2}{3}}} ρ \cos (t^{\frac{1}{3}}) \sin (t^{\frac{1}{4}}) + \frac{1}{4 t^{\frac{3}{4}}} ρ \sin (t^{\frac{1}{3}}) \cos (t^{\frac{1}{4}})$

Step by step solution

Step 1. Given Information.

$x = ρ \sin ϕ \sin θ ρ = \sqrt{t} = t^{\frac{1}{2}} ϕ = \sqrt[3]{t} = t^{\frac{1}{3}} θ = \sqrt[4]{t} = t^{\frac{1}{4}}$

Step 2. Calculation.

By Theorem 12.34, we have

$\frac{d x}{d t} = \frac{\partial x}{\partial ρ} \frac{d ρ}{d t} + \frac{\partial x}{\partial ϕ} \frac{d ϕ}{d t} + \frac{\partial x}{\partial θ} \frac{d θ}{d t} - - - - - - - (1)$

So first we find $\frac{\partial x}{\partial ρ}, \frac{d ρ}{d t}, \frac{\partial x}{\partial ϕ}, \frac{d ϕ}{d t}, \frac{\partial x}{\partial θ}, \frac{d θ}{d t}$

So we have

$\frac{\partial x}{\partial ρ} = \sin ϕ \sin θ \frac{\partial x}{\partial ϕ} = ρ \cos ϕ \sin θ \frac{\partial x}{\partial θ} = ρ \sin ϕ \cos θ \frac{d ρ}{d t} = \frac{1}{2} t^{- \frac{1}{2}} \frac{d ϕ}{d t} = \frac{1}{3} t^{\frac{- 2}{3}} \frac{d θ}{d t} = \frac{1}{4} t^{\frac{- 3}{4}}$

Step 3. Calculation.

Use these above values in (1) we get,

$\frac{d x}{d t} = \frac{\partial x}{\partial ρ} \frac{d ρ}{d t} + \frac{\partial x}{\partial ϕ} \frac{d ϕ}{d t} + \frac{\partial x}{\partial θ} \frac{d θ}{d t} \frac{d x}{d t} = \sin ϕ \sin θ (\frac{1}{2} t^{\frac{- 1}{2}}) + ρ \cos ϕ \sin θ (\frac{1}{3} t^{\frac{- 2}{3}}) + ρ \sin ϕ \cos θ (\frac{1}{4} t^{\frac{- 3}{4}})$

So from here, putting the value of $ρ, ϕ, θ$ in terms of $t$ we will get,

$\frac{d x}{d t} = \sin ϕ \sin θ (\frac{1}{2} t^{\frac{- 1}{2}}) + ρ \cos ϕ \sin θ (\frac{1}{3} t^{\frac{- 2}{3}}) + ρ \sin ϕ \cos θ (\frac{1}{4} t^{\frac{- 3}{4}}) \frac{d x}{d t} = \frac{1}{2 t^{\frac{1}{2}}} \sin (t^{\frac{1}{3}}) \sin (t^{\frac{1}{4}}) + \frac{1}{3 t^{\frac{2}{3}}} ρ \cos (t^{\frac{1}{3}}) \sin (t^{\frac{1}{4}}) + \frac{1}{4 t^{\frac{3}{4}}} ρ \sin (t^{\frac{1}{3}}) \cos (t^{\frac{1}{4}})$
