Solution

The symbol ๐›ฟ๐‘ฃ is often used to represent a small change in the variable ๐‘ฃ. If ๐‘ฃ is a function of ๐‘ฅ and ๐‘ฆ, i.e., ๐‘ฃ=๐‘“(๐‘ฅ,๐‘ฆ), then ๐›ฟ๐‘ฃ can be defined using the total differential as follows:

Step 1: Compute the partial derivatives of ๐‘ฃ with respect to ๐‘ฅ and ๐‘ฆ. These are represented as โˆ‚๐‘ฃ/โˆ‚๐‘ฅ and โˆ‚๐‘ฃ/โˆ‚๐‘ฆ respectively.

Step 2: Multiply each partial derivative by the corresponding small change in the independent variable. This gives us (โˆ‚๐‘ฃ/โˆ‚๐‘ฅ)๐›ฟ๐‘ฅ and (โˆ‚๐‘ฃ/โˆ‚๐‘ฆ)๐›ฟ๐‘ฆ.

Step 3: The total differential ๐›ฟ๐‘ฃ is then the sum of these two terms: ๐›ฟ๐‘ฃ = (โˆ‚๐‘ฃ/โˆ‚๐‘ฅ)๐›ฟ๐‘ฅ + (โˆ‚๐‘ฃ/โˆ‚๐‘ฆ)๐›ฟ๐‘ฆ.

This represents the approximate change in ๐‘ฃ for small changes in ๐‘ฅ and ๐‘ฆ.
