2015年5月2日 · The symbols d/dx and dy/dx represent derivatives in calculus, indicating rates of change with respect to a variable.

We write $\frac{dy}{dx}$ but this is just notational, convention really. First, it is important to remember that this is not a ratio (see this, which is an excellent discussion of $\frac{dy}{dx}$), it is a limit and there is a limit definition, see the brief section here for an idea. The idea is we approximate the change of functions using an ...

Steps for Using {eq}dy/dx {/eq} as a Notation for the Derivative of {eq}y = f(x) {/eq} Step 1: Determine what derivative rule, if any, is necessary to take the derivative of the function f(x ...

In differential calculus, We know that dy/dx is the ratio between the change in y and the change in x. In other words, the rate of change in y with respect to x.

2024年9月16日 · So we have (dy/dx)(x^2)=(2xi+i^2)/i. The denominator "i" comes as an infinitesimal by definition. The square of an infinitesimal, and the product of a real (or finite number) and an infinitesimal comes as an infinitesimal (see Keisler's book in anon's statement).

2019年12月2日 · I've read 'similar' threads here, that ended up as long fights about 'dy/dx' being or not being a ratio, so I'm clearly not the first person to wonder about what it is. Maybe if I can get clear on what 'dx' by itself is, that will help. He treats it as a variable holding a value on which one performs algebra but we never see it's value.

2022年5月5日 · The notation $\dfrac{dy}{dx}$ is derived from the tangent-slope interpretation of the derivative, that is to take the ratio of the opposite side with the adjacent side. The discrete product (using $\Delta$ ) provides the slope of the secant.

2011年3月5日 · In Leibniz notation, the 2nd derivative is written as $$\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dx^2}\ ?$$ Why is the location of the $2$ in different places in the $\mathrm dy/\mathrm dx$ terms?

{eq}\displaystyle \dfrac {dy} {dx} = x \sqrt y {/eq} Separable Differential Equation: If in a differential equation we are able to separate the variables of the differential equation, i.e. terms including one variable are on one side of the equation and terms containing another variable are on the other side of the equation, we call such ...
