I Differentiate two variables functions

Click For Summary
To compute dx from the equality f(x) = g(y, z), the relation dx = {(\frac{\partial f}{\partial x})}^{-1}( \frac{\partial g}{\partial y}dy + \frac{\partial g}{\partial z}dz ) is confirmed as correct. However, this relation is not valid at points where \frac{\partial f}{\partial x} equals zero, which may be outside the relevant domain. The discussion emphasizes the importance of ensuring the partial derivative is non-zero for accurate calculations. Overall, the method provides a useful approach for differentiating functions of multiple variables.

Hi,
I am dealing with an equality of the form:
f(x)=g(y,z)
and I need to compute ##dx##.
Is the following relation correct?
dx={(\frac{\partial f}{\partial x})}^{-1}( \frac{\partial g}{\partial y}dy + \frac{\partial g}{\partial z}dz )

Thank you in advance.

Yes, that's correct. Of course it breaks down at points where ##\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}## is zero, but maybe that's not in the domain of interest.
 
Thank you!
