Does anyone know how i should go to prove it ?Is it just a trivial substitution ?

What are θμ & θμ supposed to mean exactly? Uf the problem is just to show that [itex]\frac{\partial}{\partial x_\mu}[/itex] transforms as a contravariant vector, just try an analogous proof to the covariant case in your image. If you get stuck, show your work.
