PROBLEMS UNDER TYPE 1

 

Let u= f(x,y). If x and y are functions of one independent variable t, then

du/dt = (∂u/∂x).(dx/dt) + (∂u/∂y).(dy/dt)


 

Example 20. Find dz/dt if z = x2 + y2, x = at2, y = 2at

Solution: Given z = x2 + y2

∂z∂x =2x;

∂z∂y =2y;

Also given x = at2;

 y = 2at

dx/dt = 2at;

dy/dt = 2a;

dz/dt = (∂z/∂x).(dx/dt) + (∂z/∂y).(dy/dt)

= 2x 2at + 2y 2a

= 4a[xt+ya] = 4a[(at2)t + (2at)a]

dz/dt = 4a[at3 + 2a2t]

 

Example 21. If u = x3+ y3, where x = a cost, y = a sint, find du/dt and verify the result.

Solution:


du/dt = (∂u/∂x).(dx/dt) + (∂u/∂y).(dy/dt)

= 3x2(‒a sin t) + 3y2a cos t

= 3(a cost)2(‒a sin t) + 3(a sin t)2 (a cost)

= ‒3a3 cos2t sint + 3a3 sin2t cost

du/dt = 3a3 sint cost (sin t ‒ cost)

To verify the result

 u = x3 + y3 = a3cos3t + a3sin3t

 du/dt = a33cos2t (‒sint) + a33sin2t cost

du/dt = 3a3 cost sint (sint‒cost)

Hence the result is verified.

 

Example 22. If u = log(x + y + z), where x = e‒t, y = sint, z = cost, then Find du/dt.

Solution:


 

Example 23. Find du/dt if u = exy, where x = √[a2‒t2], y = sin3t

Solution: Given u = exy


 

Example 24. If u = xy + yz + zx, where x = et, y = e‒t, z= 1/t find du/dt.

Solution:


 

Example 25. Given u = sin(x/y), x = et and y = t2.

Find du/dt as a function of t. Verify your result by direct substitution.

Solution:
