From "Modern Quantum Mechanics, revised edition" by J. J. Sakurai, page 85.
Eqn (2.2.23a),[tex]
[x_i,F(\mathbf{p})] = i \hbar \frac{\partial F}{\partial p_i}
[/tex]Eqn(2.2.23b)[tex]
[p_i,G(\mathbf{x})] = -i \hbar \frac{\partial G}{\partial x_i}[/tex]
It says "We can easily prove both formulas by repeatedly applying (1.6.50e)."
(1.6.50e) is,[tex]
[A,BC]=[A,B]C+B[A,C][/tex]
I can't figure it out. How do I do this?
