The discussion revolves around finding the partial derivatives of the function defined by the inequality x^2 + y^2 < 1. Participants are exploring the nature of the derivatives and addressing a misunderstanding related to the expressions for these derivatives.
Some participants have acknowledged a misunderstanding regarding the placement of the question in the forum. The original poster has indicated that the issue has been resolved, but there remains a discussion about the appropriateness of the section for the topic.
There is mention of an error in reading the problem statement, which led to confusion about the derivatives. The original poster expressed a desire to delete the question after realizing the mistake, highlighting the forum's policy on handling answered questions.
It IS the correct section. You initially posted it in the Precalculus section. I moved it.emergentecon said:1. Given the elementary nature of the question, why is Calculus & Beyond Homework not the correct section?
You can post the corrected question here in this thread.emergentecon said:2. It is not a function of deleting an answered question. I misunderstood something I was reading, and thereby posted an erroneous question.
