Actually it's a math question. Can I cancel V from both side in step 3? thx!

SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on the mathematical treatment of the volumetric thermal expansion coefficient, specifically addressing the cancellation of volume (V) in equations. It is established that V cannot be canceled without taking the partial derivative. The conversation also touches on the substitution of variables beta and k into the derivative, indicating a need for clarity in achieving the desired form of the equation as seen in step 6.

No you can't. You need to take their partial derivative.

I've taken the derivative and substituted beta and k? into it. How to make it looks like step 6?
thx!
