I have no idea how to do this sum :/ Please help!

rvc (rvc):

\[\rm If~\frac{x^2}{a+u}+\frac{y^2}{b+u}=1~\\~\\ ~~\\~u^2_x+u^2_y=2(xu_x+yu_y)\]

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

And those are partials?

rvc (rvc):

yes \(\rm u_x=\Large \frac{\partial u}{\partial x}\)

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Gotcha

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

So what exactly do you want to do xD

rvc (rvc):

i have to prove that result

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Though so, ok did you try to take the partial derivative of your expression haha?

rvc (rvc):

im not understanding what to do ;~;

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

What happens if you take partial derivatives for both x and y for \[\frac{ x^2 }{ a+u }+\frac{ y^2 }{ b+u }=1\]

rvc (rvc):

hmm..?

rvc (rvc):

@ganeshie8 please explain me

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[\rm \frac{x^2}{a+u}+\frac{y^2}{b+u}=1\] taking differential gives \[\rm \frac{2x}{a+u}dx+\frac{2y}{b+u}dy - \left(\dfrac{x^2}{(a+u)^2}+\dfrac{y^2}{(b+u)^2}\right)dz=0\]

rvc (rvc):

wait what did you do?

rvc (rvc):

is it total differentiation? then i dont know about it

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

okay, then you will need to find the partials separately and plug them into the given equaiton i guess

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[\frac{ x^2 }{ a+u }+\frac{ y^2 }{ b+u }=1\] treat \(y\) as constant and find \(u_x\)

rvc (rvc):

so it will be : wait im confused ;~;

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

its going to be a painful algebra i hope there is some other clever way to work this

rvc (rvc):

;~;

rvc (rvc):

@zepdrix @mukushla @Kainui @bibby @baru

OpenStudy (kainui):

wait what's u?

rvc (rvc):

that is the question nothing more is provided i suppose f(x,y,u)

rvc (rvc):

u is a function of x n y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How many questions is there on that review/or paper you're doing I think I know that and I can help you! Through em

rvc (rvc):

hmm..? @jerry101 i did not understand you could you please explain me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nvm lol

rvc (rvc):

:/

OpenStudy (ribhu):

not every question is a sum.... its only used for addition.... rather call it a question....

rvc (rvc):

so how would i prove it?

OpenStudy (ribhu):

take partial derivatives separately... take the left hand side and proceed for right hand side..

rvc (rvc):

Thats what m struggling with :/

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

If we compute the first partial derivatives of the starting equation, we get, after a simplification, this condition: \[\Large \frac{{x{u_y}}}{{a + u}} = \frac{{y{u_x}}}{{b + u}}\]
