I am reading about this topic, and I came across this sentence "Remember, every time we want to differentiate a function of y with respect to x, we differentiate with respect to y and then multiply by dy/dx." What exactly does this mean?

I'm trying to write a code to implement he backwards Euler method to integrate the equation of motion. The sticking point seems to be that the acceleration is due to drag, and thus is dependent on the new position and velocity. I understand the method to be: v_{i+1}=v_{i}+a_{i+1}δ...

Homework Statement find dy/dx if x=1/1 + t and y = t2/1 + t Homework Equations dy/dx = (dy/dt) / (dx/dt) The Attempt at a Solution dx/dt = 1 * (1 + t )^-1 dx/dt = -1/ (1 +t)^2 dy/dt = t^2 * (1 +t)^-1 dy/dt = -2t/(1+ t)^2 therfore dy/dx = -2t/(1 + t)^2 / -1/(1 +...

Hello. I know how to do implicit differentiation taught in calculus 1, but I'm confused by something regarding it. Take the example: y3+y2-5y-x2=4 If we do implicit differentation we get: 3y2(dy/dx)+2y(dy/dx)-5(dy/dx)-2x=0 dy/dx=2x/(3y2+2y-5) Now, it makes sense how to...

Implicit isomorphism involved in extension/sub fields/structures? This has been bugging me for a while. I'm pretty sure I'm correct but I'd just like to verify to put my mind at ease. I'd like to know if there is an implicit isomorphism involved when we say, for example, F is a substructure of...

I tried deriving this one on my own and I'm just not understanding where the dx/dx term comes from. I'm looking dy/dx. Starting with F(x,y) = 0: \frac{\partial{F}}{\partial{x}}\frac{dx}{dx} + \frac{\partial{F}}{\partial{y}}\frac{dy}{dx} = 0 It seems redundant to say dx/dx when it turns out to...
