AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on finding the first-order partial derivatives of the function f(x, y) defined as an integral involving a continuous function g. The first partial derivative with respect to x is determined to be zero, indicating that f does not depend on x. The second partial derivative with respect to y is derived using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus and results in the expression g(∫_b^y g)g(y). This shows the relationship between the integrals and the derivatives of the function g. The final conclusion is that the first-order partial derivative with respect to y is g(∫_b^y g)g(y).

Find the (first-order) partial derivatives of the following function (where g : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R} is continuous):

f(x, y) = \int _a ^{\int _b ^y g} g.

--------------

I got:

D_1f(x, y) = 0

D_2f(x, y) = \frac{\partial f}{\partial y}

= \frac{\partial }{\partial y} \int _a ^{\int _b ^y g}g

Let G be the antiderivative of g:

= \frac{\partial }{\partial y}\left ( G \left (\int _b ^y g\right ) - G(a) \right )

= \frac{\partial }{\partial y} G \left (\int _b ^y g\right )

= \left ( \frac{\partial G \left (\int _b ^y g\right )}{\partial \left (\int _b ^y g\right ) }\right ) \left (\frac{\partial }{\partial y}\int _b ^y g\right )

= g\left (\int _b ^y g\right )\frac{\partial }{\partial y}\left (G(y) - G(b) \right )

= g\left (\int _b ^y g\right )g(y)

= g\left (\int _b ^y g\right )\frac{\partial }{\partial y} \left (\int _b ^y g\right )

= g\left (\int _b ^y g\right )g(y)

= g \left (\int _b ^y g\right )g(y)

Therefore, the first-order partial derivative with respect to y is g \left (\int _b ^y g\right )g(y).
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
