Homework Statement
I've never encountered Jacobians before, and having read up on them a bit I find the wording of the last part of this question confusing:
A set of coordinates ##x'_{\mu}## in frame B is obtained from the set ##x_{\mu}## in frame A, by boosting B w.r.t A with speed beta along the ##x_3=z## axis. Write down the Jacobian that let's you write ##\frac{\partial}{\partial x'_{\mu}}## in terms of ##\frac{\partial}{\partial x_{\mu}}##
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm not really sure what I'm being asked! It sounds to me a bit like I should just write down the Jacobian, but isn't that equal to 1? That's what it looks like to me based on this:

Thanks for any help. :)
