Homogeneous Euler Derivatives 3280C4
1. **Define Homogeneous Function:**
A function $f(x,y)$ is called homogeneous of degree $n$ if for all $t > 0$, it satisfies $$f(tx, ty) = t^n f(x,y).$$
2. **Modified Euler’s Theorem Statement:**
If $f(x,y)$ is a homogeneous function of degree $n$, then $$x \frac{\partial f}{\partial x} + y \frac{\partial f}{\partial y} = n f(x,y).$$
3. **Find $f_x(1,3)$ for $f(x,y) = x^2 y + xy^2$:**
- Differentiate $f$ partially with respect to $x$:
$$\frac{\partial f}{\partial x} = 2xy + y^2.$$
- Substitute $x=1$, $y=3$:
$$f_x(1,3) = 2 \times 1 \times 3 + 3^2 = 6 + 9 = 15.$$
4. **Find $\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}(1,2)$ for $f(x,y) = x^3 + y^3 - 3xy$:**
- Differentiate $f$ partially with respect to $x$:
$$\frac{\partial f}{\partial x} = 3x^2 - 3y.$$
- Substitute $x=1$, $y=2$:
$$\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}(1,2) = 3 \times 1^2 - 3 \times 2 = 3 - 6 = -3.$$
5. **Find $\frac{dy}{dx}$ if $y \sin x = x \cos y$:**
- Differentiate both sides implicitly:
$$\frac{d}{dx}(y \sin x) = \frac{d}{dx}(x \cos y).$$
- Using product and chain rules:
$$y \cos x + \sin x \frac{dy}{dx} = \cos y - x \sin y \frac{dy}{dx}.$$
- Group $\frac{dy}{dx}$ terms:
$$\sin x \frac{dy}{dx} + x \sin y \frac{dy}{dx} = \cos y - y \cos x.$$
- Factor $\frac{dy}{dx}$:
$$\frac{dy}{dx}(\sin x + x \sin y) = \cos y - y \cos x.$$
- Solve for $\frac{dy}{dx}$:
$$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\cos y - y \cos x}{\sin x + x \sin y}.$$
