Differential Derivative B637Dc
1. The problem asks how to get the expression $dl = \frac{d\ell(w)}{dw}$.
2. This expression represents the derivative of a function $\ell(w)$ with respect to the variable $w$.
3. The derivative $\frac{d\ell(w)}{dw}$ measures how the function $\ell(w)$ changes as $w$ changes.
4. To find $dl$, which is the differential change in $\ell$, we use the rule:
$$dl = \frac{d\ell(w)}{dw} dw$$
This means the small change in $\ell$ is the derivative times the small change in $w$.
5. In plain terms, if you know how $\ell$ changes per unit change in $w$ (the derivative), then multiplying by a small change in $w$ gives the corresponding small change in $\ell$.
6. This is a fundamental concept in calculus called the differential, and it helps approximate changes in functions.
Final answer:
$$dl = \frac{d\ell(w)}{dw} dw$$
