SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the correct representation of the partial derivative \(\frac{\partial F}{\partial x}\) and its conditions for vanishing. The user sought confirmation on their calculations, which were validated by community members. Key insights include the importance of proper LaTeX formatting, specifically using \(\partial\) instead of \(\delta\) for partial derivatives. The issue was resolved with the correct notation, ensuring clarity in mathematical communication.

For what value does [itex]\frac{\partial F}{\partial x}[/itex] vanish?

Working is in the attached pictures, easy question just want to make sure I haven't stuffed up

Thank you =D

Mod Edit: Fixed LaTeX. Tip: leave a space between delta and whatever comes after it. If you don't, the LaTeX rendering system doesn't recognize deltaF and similar. Also, for partial derivatives, use \ partial F and \ partial x, not \ delta F and \ delta x.
