f(x)=x(t)=t(p)=p(y)=y(f). what is df/dp ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1. The key is to use the fact that the derivatives must be the same. \[df/dx=dx/dt=dt/dp=...\] Then use the chain rule to show that \[df/dp=(df/dx)^3\] and \[df/dp=(df/dx)^{-2}.\] The only way these can both be true is if \[df/dp=1.\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That sound like CMAT to me, so I'm going to say that \[f(x(t(p)))\] is the general case that you want, so \[df/dp = df/dx \times dx/dt \times dt/dp\] is all you need! I think so!

OpenStudy (binary3i):

actually it is a equation like x=x. which always has slope 1
