Solving for Integral with Partial Differentiation

In summary, partial differentiation is a mathematical method used to calculate the rate of change of a function with respect to one of its variables while holding all other variables constant. It is different from ordinary differentiation in that it allows for a more precise analysis of multivariable functions. It is denoted by curly d's (∂) and its purpose is to help analyze the behavior of multivariable functions. Partial differentiation has practical applications in various fields such as physics, thermodynamics, economics, engineering, and machine learning.

Do you guys know if it's possible to solve for the following integral

l(t)=∫ {a+ [b+cL(t)+exp^L(t)]/d } dt

where a, b, c and d are constants and the derivative of L(t) is l(t).

Thanks in advance!

If you differentiate both sides, you get a DE of the form:
L'' = f(L).

You have by the chain rule:
d^2 L /dt = (dL/dt) d/dL (dL/dt) and
L'' = L' d/dL (L') = d/dL 1/2 (L')^2 = f(L) which is separable.

EDIT: Why does your thread read "partial differentiation"?
 

Related to Solving for Integral with Partial Differentiation

1. What is partial differentiation?

Partial differentiation is a mathematical method used to calculate the rate of change of a function with respect to one of its variables, while holding all other variables constant. It is commonly used in multivariable calculus and is a fundamental tool in many areas of science and engineering.

2. How is partial differentiation different from ordinary differentiation?

Ordinary differentiation calculates the rate of change of a function with respect to a single variable, while partial differentiation calculates the rate of change of a function with respect to one variable while holding all other variables constant. This allows for a more precise analysis of multivariable functions.

3. What is the notation used for partial differentiation?

Partial differentiation is denoted by curly d's (∂) instead of regular d's (d) used in ordinary differentiation. For example, the partial derivative of a function f(x,y) with respect to x would be written as ∂f/∂x.

4. What is the purpose of partial differentiation?

The purpose of partial differentiation is to help analyze the behavior of multivariable functions by determining how each individual variable affects the overall function. This is useful in fields such as physics, economics, and engineering where multiple variables are involved in a system.

5. What are the practical applications of partial differentiation?

Partial differentiation has many practical applications in various fields of science and engineering. It is used in physics to calculate rates of change in motion and in thermodynamics to analyze changes in temperature and pressure. In economics, it is used to analyze the effects of multiple variables on a system. It is also used in optimization problems in engineering and machine learning algorithms.
