\frac{d}{dx}f(x)=\frac{d}{dx}[ \frac{1}{2}x_{}^{T}Qx-b_{}^{T}x]

how to get this derivative, what is the answer? is there textbook describe it?

Thread 'Direction Fields and Isoclines'

I sketched the isoclines for $$ m=-1,0,1,2 $$. Since both $$ \frac{dy}{dx} $$ and $$ D_{y} \frac{dy}{dx} $$ are continuous on the square region R defined by $$ -4\leq x \leq 4, -4 \leq y \leq 4 $$ the existence and uniqueness theorem guarantees that if we pick a point in the interior that lies on an isocline there will be a unique differentiable function (solution) passing through that point. I understand that a solution exists but I unsure how to actually sketch it. For example, consider a...
