If u = f (x − y , y − z , z − x) then prove that ∂u∂x+ ∂u∂y+ ∂u∂z= 0
Question
If u = f (x − y , y − z , z − x) then prove that ∂u∂x+ ∂u∂y+ ∂u∂z= 0
Solution
To prove that ∂u/∂x + ∂u/∂y + ∂u/∂z = 0 for u = f(x - y, y - z, z - x), we need to use the chain rule for differentiation.
The chain rule states that the derivative of a function of a function is the derivative of the outer function times the derivative of the inner function.
Let's denote: p = x - y q = y - z r = z - x
So, u = f(p, q, r)
Now, we need to find the partial derivatives of u with respect to x, y, and z.
∂u/∂x = ∂f/∂p * ∂p/∂x + ∂f/∂q * ∂q/∂x + ∂f/∂r * ∂r/∂x = ∂f/∂p * 1 + ∂f/∂q * 0 + ∂f/∂r * (-1) = ∂f/∂p - ∂f/∂r
Similarly, we can find:
∂u/∂y = -∂f/∂p + ∂f/∂q ∂u/∂z = ∂f/∂r - ∂f/∂q
Now, add these three equations:
∂u/∂x + ∂u/∂y + ∂u/∂z = (∂f/∂p - ∂f/∂r) + (-∂f/∂p + ∂f/∂q) + (∂f/∂r - ∂f/∂q)
You can see that all terms will cancel out, leaving:
∂u/∂x + ∂u/∂y + ∂u/∂z = 0
So, we have proved the given statement.
