# Jacobian matrices

$$x=t^2-s^2, y=ts,u=x,v=-y$$

a) compute derivative matrices

$$\vec{D}f(x,y) = \left[\begin{array}{cc}2t&-2s\\s&t\end{array}\right]$$

$$\vec{D}f(u,v) = \left[\begin{array}{cc}1&0\\0&-1\end{array}\right]$$

b) express (u,v) in terms of (t,s)

$$f(u(x,y),v(x,y) = (t^2-s^2,-(ts))$$

c) Evaluate $$\vec{D}(u,v)$$

$$\vec{D}(u,v) = \left[\begin{array}{cc}1&0\\0&-1\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{cc}2t&-2s\\s&t\end{array}\right]$$

$$= \left[\begin{array}{cc}2t&-2s\\-s&-t\end{array}\right]$$

d) verify if chain rule holds

need help with this last part, also need to know if I even did the rest correctly

Part a) looks okay, but the notation is a little rough. Something more like:

$$J_{s, t}(x,y) = \begin{pmatrix} x_s & x_t \\ y_s & y_t \end{pmatrix}, \quad J_{x, y}(u,v) = \begin{pmatrix} u_x & u_y \\ v_x & v_y \end{pmatrix}$$

##J_{s, t}(x,y)## and ##J_{x, y}(u,v)## are the Jacobian matricies.

I'm sure you meant ##u = t^2 - s^2## for part b).

For part c), I'm sure what is intended is you find the derivative matrix ##J_{s, t}(u,v)## after expressing ##u## and ##v## as functions of ##s## and ##t##.

I fixed the error in (b) and yeah thats what I want for (c), I'm using the notation that is used in my book/what my professor uses

as for part (d) how do I verify this

For part d), if ##f## is a function of ##u## and ##v##, which are functions of ##x## and ##y##, which are functions of ##s## and ##t##, what is the partial derivative of ##f## with respect to ##u##? How about the partial with respect to ##v##?

$$(\frac{\partial f}{\partial u})_{t,s} = 2t,-2s \,\,\, (\frac{\partial f}{\partial v})_{t,s} = -s,-t$$

I know this is kind of an abuse of notation but I've been typing LaTeX all day

Looks good.
