Homework Statement



Trying to figure our how to solve the following: [itex]\frac{dW}{dσ}[/itex]
where [itex]W(σ) = 2π\int_0^∞y(H(x,σ))x,dx[/itex]

Homework Equations


both y and H(x,y) are continuous functions from 0 to Infinity

The Attempt at a Solution


Tried using the leibniz rule but it's not really getting me anywhere...

[itex]\frac{dW}{dσ} = 0+0+2π\int_0^∞\frac{\partial(y(H(x,σ))x)}{\partial \sigma},dx[/itex]

I'm not familiar with a chain rule for partial differentiation...

The solution I have is showing
[itex]\frac{dW}{dσ}= 2π\int_0^∞y'(H(x,σ))\frac{dH(x,σ)}{dσ}x,dx[/itex] I'm not understanding how they arrived at this.
It is also unclear what y' represents as ' is not necessarily used for derivative or defined anywhere...
Thanks

Assuming nice enough conditions on H and the convergence of the improper integral (which I haven't checked), I would expect$$
W'(\sigma) = 2π\int_0^∞y\frac{\partial(H(x,σ)}{\partial \sigma}x,dx$$

The syntax is wrong, there is a missing ). Also, I see no attempt. And what is H?
 
updated the original post. Not seeing why the partial was pushed through the function y
