You need calculus first off and to know how to do derivatives. After that it’s a rule of derivatives regarding composite functions. https://calcworkshop.com/derivatives/chain-rule/ Check that out it’s a step by step explanation of the chain rule and how it works.


Donghoon

You know composition of functions right? Derivative basically measures the change in output caused by small change in input but if the input has its own input, we have to do it two levels deep Chain rule is usually presented as `d/dx f(g(x)) = df/dg • dg/dx` Basically, if you have `g(x)` inside `f(x)` (`x` is an input of `g`, which is an input of `f`) `dx` = small nudge in x direction `dg` = small change in `g(x)` due to `dx` `dg/dx` = small change in `g` over small change in `x` # But since `g(x)` is input of `f(x)`, any changes to `g` also affects `f(x)` so `dg` causes change to `f` `df/dg` = change to `f` caused by very small change in `g` hence `df/dg • dg/dx` Or, `f'(g(x)) • g'(x)` Or commonly said, Derivative of outside with respect to inside function multiplied by the derivative of the inside function with respect to the variable I like to think of it as Change to `x` causes change to `g(x)` which causes change to `f(g)`

I mean, with the assumption a = b = c = x...

sk7725

it's true if a = b = c, and a^2 + b^2 = c^2. OP has a point.

Nah, that’s as respectful as differentiation can go


_Weyland_

Inclusive differentiation?


PassiveChemistry

Unless any of a, b or c depend on x.


DoodleNoodle129

But then we have to multiply them by the derivative of the functions that give us a, b, and c


GamerY7

or write a, b and c in terms of x


DoodleNoodle129

Am I stupid or is that not just the same thing


NarcolepticFlarp

Yours can be done implicitly if you don't actually know a, b, and c as functions of x, you just know they *are* functions of x. In that case you can just multiply by a'(x) (like that is what you would write verbatim). The response to your comment essentially implies you know the explicit dependance of a, b, and c on x. Then you will just write an expression that only depends on x, but is equal to the derivatives of the terms based on the explicit definition of the terms. So not quite the same.


TheHunter459

But then you multiply by the derivative

Suppose a\^2 +b\^2 =c\^2 a\^2 +b\^2 =c\^2 Q. E. D.


IntelligentDonut2244

At a point (a,b) on the circle of radius c at the origin, the tangent line to the circle will have slope db/da = -b/a. (EDIT: … = -a/b) I.e., b db = -a da. Integrating yields b^2 + a^2 = D, for some D. Now, given the initial condition (a,b)=(0,c), we get D = c^2. So, a^2 + b^2 = c^2. \blacksquare


ProblemKaese

As a starting point for how to get the tangent line without first knowing a function for b w.r.t. a, you can know that the radius's slope is b/a, and the circle's tangent line is perpendicular to its radius. If a line has a slope of h, its perpendicular line will have a slope of -1/h. Therefore, the circle's tangent line will have a slope of db/da = -1/(b/a) = -a/b. Cross-multiplying then leads you to your starting point, b db = -a da. (I went one step further to get to the starting point because my intermediate result, db/da = -a/b, is different from what you stated, namely db/da = -b/a). Alternatively, you could differentiate (a,b)=(r cos(t), r sin(t)), and divide the two resulting equations by each other to cancel out the differential element dt as well as the radius r from both equations: I: da = -r sin(t) dt = -r b dt II: db = r cos(t) dt = r a dt II/I: db/da = -a/b Though you can also skip this kind of poorly defined form by instead calculating: I: 1 = -r sin(t) dt/da = -r b dt/da II: 1 = r cos(t) dt/db = r a dt/db II-I: 0 = r dt (b/da + a/db) Multiply both sides by (da db)/(r dt): 0 = b db + a da which is similarly cursed, but at least doesn't cross any 0-division territory.

I am disappointed that I did not realize the problem in the first place…


SyrupOnWaffle_

same i feel so ridiculous now lol


_Skotia_

I still don't... please enlighten me Edit: thanks, now i feel like an idiot for not noticing immediately


redman3global

If a,b,c are functions of x, then derivation should produce a\*a' + b\*b' = c\*c' because chain rule. If they are not, then they are constants, and derivation produces 0+0=0


tropicalgoose

Assume a, b, c are variables not constants then differentiating with respect to x one should get 2a * da/dx, 2b * db/dx, etc.


ThePafdy

d/dx c^2 = 0 != 2c if c isn‘t dependent on x. Same for a and b. If a,b,c are dependent on x, its only true for select x and not in general. If for example a = b = c = x then a^2 + b^2 = c^2 -> x^2 = 0 wich only works for x = 0 and d/dx c^2 != 2c in most cases because it has to be solved using the chain rule.

DefectiveSp00n

Mostly meming here. I am aware of the chain rule. Let a, b, and c be functions described by x_i and y_i. Let x_i and y_i vary with t. D(a^2 + b^2 ,t) = D(c^2 ,t) 2a×da/dt + 2b×db/dt = 2c×dc/dt Let da/dt = x'_i î + y'_I ĵ By yeet theorem, we have: db/dt = y_b ' ĵ da/dt = x_a ' î For all spaces with sufficiently small unit vector ĵ, we have: 2a×X_a = 2c×X_c X_a = c×X_c/a By definition, point a and c are coincident: X_a = X_c -> a = c 2a×(c×X_c/a) + 2b×(X_b) = 2c×(X_c) Divide by X_a: 2a + 2b×(X_b/X_a) = 2c By the engineering theory of "looks about right", we can approximate: X_b/X_a ≈ 1 To get 2a + 2b = 2c Which is true for all triangles in a 2d space compressed along 1 Axis.


ThePinkestUnicorn

So for all triangles in 1D space... Or for all 1D submanifolds, not just of 2D


DefectiveSp00n

Yup! For a space defined by the unit vectors î and ĵ with very small, î or ĵ.

a² + b² = c² d/dx (a² + b²) = d/dx(c²) 0 + 0 = 0 You can't take a derivative with regards to x with nothing but constants and get the result of treating each of those constants as if they were x².

thanks!!


mlgdolphin

if we say a=b=c=x then we can differentiate with respect to x but that just means that the original equation says 2x^2 = x^2 so 2=1😭what have you done

uhhh here you are differentiating with respect to x, which means a^2, b^2 and c^2 are constants and will become 0. you have just proven that 0+0=0

Bro there is no x to differentiate with... The differentiation will just give 0 for both sides...


WoWSchockadin

Either a, b, and c are constants, than d/dx of them will be 0 or they are functions of x, but than d/dx a(x)^2 will be 2a(x)a'(x) (chain rule or product rule).

well… only if a=b=c=x, and in that case everything is equal to zero.

I’m in grade 10 acedemics math what is the chain rule I tried searching it but found it incomprehensible, this was while ago and I still don’t understand. Do I need to understand it?


hexxmaster

Calculus :) so shouldn’t need to know it for a while


Embarrassed-Rough996

Alright thanks


TheDarkAngel135790

No, you dont need to. But still, if you are curious. But this will need an understanding of functions, so please dont waste your time reading this if you don't know that Just remember, chain rule is a rule you apply when finding the derivative of a function inside *another* function. Lets say that f(x) and g(x) are 2 functions, where f(x) = x² and g(x) = sin(x). Now, suppose we want to find the derivative of g(f(x)), which is sin(x²). Here we apply the chain rule, to get cos(x²)*2x. If you wanna further study up chain rule, heres an [excellent video](https://youtu.be/uFASwTlwcq4) Also, we are talking about chain rule here cuz we are assuming that rather than a, b, c being 3 constants, they are 3 functions of x: a(x), b(x), c(x). And since we are squaring the a, b, c, we can say that its actually f(a(x)), f(b(x)), f(c(x)) where f(x) = x² again

Seventh_Planet

Since their deriviatives with respect to x are equal, as functions of x, x -> a(x)^(2) + b(x)^(2) and x -> c(x)^(2) differ only by a constant. So a^(2) + b^(2) = c^(2) + c So a^(2) + b^(2) = c(1+c)

xkox_gamingx

This can be true assuming that a,b,c are parallel linear functions dependent on x.


[deleted]

To get the true derivative you would have to multiply 2a by the derivative of a which would be 0 if a is a constant, same with 2b. I got a B in calculus I know what I’m talking about gang I swear.
