Find ∂r/∂x_j: Tensor Problems Explained

[mcheung4]

1. find ∂r/∂x$_{j}$, where r=|$\underline{x}$|

2. is this the same as differentiating a modulus of a vector?

Try writing r out in components, i.e. r = f(x1,x2,x3,...) and I think it will be obvious what you need to do.

thats what i dunno... what is the component for a mod x?
