Covariant Derivative: Proving Rank-2 Tensor Components

[ehrenfest]

Homework Statement

I am trying to show that the components of the covariant derivative $$\del_b v^a are the mixed components of a rank-2 tensor.<br /> <br /> If I scan in my calculations, will someone have a look at them?<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <h2>Homework Equations</h2><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <h2>The Attempt at a Solution</h2>$$

If you do scan your work and upload it, then I'm sure someone will look at your work.

Here are my calculations. It took me forever to scan them and put them in a file small enough to upload. :(

Anyway. The "stuff" is the correct transformation for a mixed second rank tensor which means the other term (the one that I wrote out) needs to vanish. The problem is that I do not see why it vanishes. Does anyone else?

By the way--can other people not click on the attachment and see it under it gets approval?
