What's the difference between d, d/dx and dx? - Physics Forums
2021年12月12日 · d/dx denotes the derivative (of a function) with respect to x. Your explanation doesn't distinguish between the action of taking a derivative, versus the derivative itself. I would say that ##\frac d{dx}## is the operator that when applied to a function, produces the derivative of the function with respect to x.
Integrate d/dx f(x) with respect to x - Physics Forums
2012年9月2日 · 1) ∫ d/dx f(x) dx = 0 → ∫ f'(x) dx = 0 → f(x) + C = 0 or 2) ∫ d/dx f(x) dx = 0 → d/dx ∫ f(x) dx = 0 → d/dx (F(x) + C) = 0 → f(x) = 0 where F(x) is the integral of f(x) and f'(x) is the derivative of f(x), both with respect to x. Thanks.
Hermitian Conjugates of x, i, d/dx, and a+ - Physics Forums
2005年11月8日 · Shouldn't we be showing that <f|xf> = <xf|f> for any L2 integrable function f to show that x is hermitian? I'm not able to convince myself that x=x T is equivalent. It seems like you assumed that x is hermitian and showed that the necessary condition is for x=x T which is only the case for finite dimensional systems. In general we cannot assume ...
Is (i/x^2 d/dx) a Hermitian Operator? - Physics Forums
2014年9月25日 · You wrote ∫f*(i/x^2 d/dx), but that expression is missing a g on the right (and the integration "dx"). Also, you shouldn't write ∫f*(i/x^2 d/dx)g dx = ∫g(-i/x^2 d/dx)f dx, because we still don't know if this holds. Your task is to find out if it does. Integration by parts is an application of the product rule:
Leibniz Notation Explained: dy/dx, d2y/dx2, d/dx - Physics Forums
2013年11月11日 · The symbol d 2 y/dx 2 represents the derivative (with respect to x) of the derivative with respect to x, or in other words, the 2nd derivative of y with respect to x. It could be written as $$\frac{d}{dx}(\frac{dy}{dx})$$ As a notational shortcut, the above is often written as d 2 y/dx 2. d/dx is the differentiation operator, indicating that we ...
Find d/dx in terms of d/d(theta) - Physics Forums
2008年11月4日 · \frac{d}{dx}\bar{f}(x) = \cdots [/tex] and then "thinking" that [tex]\bar{f}[/tex] and [tex]f[/tex] are somehow the same thing, and that you could cancel them out of the equation, so that you are left only with operators on the both sides.
What Are the Eigenvalues and Eigenfunctions of the Operators x …
2008年3月27日 · a) Consider the operator x d/dx(where 1st d/dx acts on the function, then x acts on the resulting function by simply multiplying by x )acting on the set of functions of a real variable x for x>0. What are the eigenvalues and the corresponding eigenfunctions of this …
What's the difference between dx and ∂x? - Physics Forums
2013年6月20日 · I understand from the equation: df = {\\frac{\\partial f}{\\partial x}} dx + {\\frac{\\partial f}{\\partial y}} dy that: dx \\neq \\partial x . I understand why df \\neq \\partial f (df is the change in f when the change in all the variables is infinitesimal, and \\partial f …
What's the Difference Between dy/dx and d/dx in Calculus?
2011年4月30日 · f'(x) means to take the derivative of y with respect to x. (same with y') d/dx means to take the derivative of whatever's after it with respect to x. For example: d/dx (y), would mean to take the derivative of y with respect to x. dy/dx means to take the derivative of y …
How Is the Operator d/dx Conceptualized in Calculus? - Physics …
2012年8月1日 · Seeing d/dx by itself was too difficult to conceptualise, I can't grasp the meaning of it. For me it was akin to seeing: (sin( /sin(x) + x)y = sin(y)/sin(x) + xy. So, my questions are: 1. Can you simply pull the input of a differential away from the expression -> dx + x = (d + 1)x 2. How do you conceptualise what the meaning of d/dx is.
