4.4.7 · D4· Maths › Multivariable Calculus › Chain rule for multivariable functions — all cases
Har problem ke peeche yahi ek rule hai:

Level 1 — Recognition
Goal: ek setup padh ke correct chain-rule skeleton likho — abhi koi arithmetic nahi.
Exercise 1.1
aur . ka formula likho aur batao ki left side mein kyun hai, nahi.
Recall Solution 1.1
tak do paths hain: ek ke through, ek ke through. Har ek ke saath multiply karo, add karo: Left side par likhte hain kyunki substitute karne ke baad output sirf ek ultimate variable par depend karta hai. Andar ke do pieces rehte hain kyunki ke genuinely do inputs hain.
Exercise 1.2
, jahan . likho.
Recall Solution 1.2
Teen inner functions se tak teen paths: Saare symbols hain: output do ultimate variables aur par depend karta rahega.
Exercise 1.3
jahan , aur directly bhi mein appear karta hai. likho.
Recall Solution 1.3
Ab ke teen raaste hain: ke through, ke through, aur mein seedha explicit slot ke through: Aakhri term ka matlab hai " ko fixed rakho, sirf explicit ko wiggle karo." Ise miss karna classic galti hai.
Level 2 — Application
Goal: rule mein plug karo aur clean expression tak simplify karo.
Exercise 2.1
, jahan aur . nikalo aur par evaluate karo.
Recall Solution 2.1
Link derivatives. , . Phir , . Assemble (do paths, add): Substitute : par: , isliye
Exercise 2.2
, , . nikalo.
Recall Solution 2.2
, . Aur , . Kyunki hai, substitute karo: Geometry: sirf distance par depend karta hai, angle par nahi — origin ke around rotate karne se nahi badalti, isliye uski -rate zero hai. Rule yeh fact "discover" karta hai.
Exercise 2.3
, , , . par nikalo.
Recall Solution 2.3
. Inner rates: . par: . (Check: , isliye . ✓)
Level 3 — Analysis
Goal: aisi setups jahan paths overlap ho jaayein, terms cancel ho jaayein, ya explicit variable chhup jaaye.
Exercise 3.1
, jahan , . nikalo. Answer interpret karo.
Recall Solution 3.1
Yeh "implicit reappearance" case hai — ke teen paths hain. . Inner: . substitute karo: Interpretation: point unit circle ke around ghoomta hai, isliye kabhi nahi badalta — woh do paths cancel ho jaate hain. Sirf explicit term bachti hai, jo rate deti hai. chhod do aur galat answer milega.
Exercise 3.2
jahan , . Dikhao ki kisi bhi differentiable ke liye hota hai.
Recall Solution 3.2
, aur . Add karo: . Kyun: hai, isliye actually ek combination par depend karta hai; aur ko equal amounts se move karne par fixed rehta hai, isliye koi change nahi hota.
Exercise 3.3
Maano koi bhi differentiable function hai, , . ko aur ke terms mein express karo.
Recall Solution 3.3
Inner rates: , , , . Square karke add karo: Expand karo: . Kyunki hai:
Level 4 — Synthesis
Goal: rule ko ek bade structure ke andar assemble karo — second derivatives, tables, unknown .
Exercise 4.1
Ek point par value table diya gaya hai: ; aur jahan . ke liye par nikalo.
Recall Solution 4.1
Pure bookkeeping — ka koi formula nahi chahiye:
Exercise 4.2
, , . Dikhao ki
Recall Solution 4.2
Inner rates: . Multiply karo — difference of squares:
Exercise 4.3
, , . ko ke terms mein nikalo.
Recall Solution 4.3
First derivative (parent note se): . Phir se ke w.r.t. differentiate karo, ko fixed rakho. Trig factors mein constants hain; lekin aur ab bhi ke functions hain, isliye ke bhi. Har ek par chain rule lagao: Toh use karte hue (equality of mixed partials). Collect karo:
Level 5 — Mastery
Goal: general proofs aur Jacobian viewpoint.
Exercise 5.1 (Euler's homogeneous theorem)
Ek function homogeneous of degree hota hai agar saare ke liye ho. Prove karo:
Recall Solution 5.1
, lo, aur define karo. Dono sides ko mein differentiate karo. Left side mein chain rule se (do paths, aur ke through): Right side: Yeh har ke liye equal hain. set karo, toh : Trick yeh hai: scalar knob introduce karo, uske through differentiate karo, phir par freeze karo.
Exercise 5.2 (Jacobian composition)
Maano , aur . Dikhao ki Jacobian matrices multiply hoti hain:
Recall Solution 5.2
Chaar outputs mein se har ek par scalar chain rule apply karo: Ab right-hand product ko entry-by-entry padho. ki row 1 aur ki column 1 ka dot product deta hai; column 2 deta hai; row 2 deti hai. Har entry match karti hai, isliye Isliye parent note general chain rule ko just matrix multiplication of Jacobians kehta hai — Gradient and Jacobian dekho.
Exercise 5.3 (numeric Jacobian check)
, , , ke saath, par do tareekon se compute karo: direct substitution aur Jacobian product. Confirm karo ki dono agree karte hain.
Recall Solution 5.3
par: . Jacobians. . Product top-left entry (): . Direct: , isliye . ✓
