Use chain rule to find expression for $frac{partial f}{partial t}$












1














$f(x,y,z,t)$, $x(t)$, $y(x,t,s)$, $z(y,x)$



So differentiating $frac{partial f}{partial t}= frac{partial f}{partial x}frac{partial x}{partial t}+frac{partial f}{partial y}frac{partial y}{partial t}+frac{partial f}{partial z}frac{partial z}{partial t}+frac{partial f}{partial t}$



then differentiating y and z with respect to $t$, $frac{partial f}{partial t}= frac{partial f}{partial x}frac{partial x}{partial t}+frac{partial f}{partial y}[frac{partial y}{partial x}frac{partial x}{partial t}+frac{partial y}{partial t}]+frac{partial f}{partial z}[frac{partial z}{partial x}frac{partial x}{partial t}{frac{partial z}{partial y}[frac{partial y}{partial x}frac{partial x}{partial t}+frac{partial y}{partial t}}]]+frac{partial f}{partial t}$



Is this correct?

  • Yeah I wasn't sure. Usually when I've seen questions like this it's something like $f(x(t),y(t))$ so I wasn't sure what to do when $t$ is a component of the function.

  • For the partial wrt z there are more terms as y and x bear dependence on t.

  • Still a plus sign into the derivative for $z$ and you are done :)
