Explain why Theorem 12.33 is a special case of Theorem

12.34 with n=2 and m=2

Short Answer

Expert verified

The required answer is

zt2=zx1x1t2+zx2x2t2

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The complete version of the chain rule is for a given function z=fx1,x2,,xnand xi=uit1,t2,,tmfor1inor all values of t1,t2,,tmat that uieach is differentiable and if f is differentiable at

(x1,x2,....xn)then

dzdtj=dzdx1dx1dtj+dzdx2dx2dtj+....+dzdxndxndtj......(1)

Where 1jm

The chain rule version three states that for a given function z=fx1,x2

and xi=uit1,t2for 1i2for all values of t1,t2at that each ui

is differentiable and if f is differentiable at x1,x2then

zt1=zx1x1t1+zx2x2t1And,zt2=zx1x1t2+zx2x2t2

02

The objective is to show when n=2 and m=2 then the complete version of the chain rule gives the chain rule version three.

When n=m=2then the complete version of the chain rule is as follows. For a given function z=fx1,x2and xi=uit1,t2for 1i2

For the values of t1andt2at which u1andu2are differentiable and if

fis differentiable at x1andx2then

The first put n=2and m=1in the equation (1)

zt1=zx1x1tt+zx2x2t1

Again put n=2and m=2in the equation (1)

zt2=zx1x1t2+zx2x2t2
