Math Problem Statement

If u = e^2x.siny find exact differential du.

Solution

To find the exact differential dudu for the function u=e2xsin(y)u = e^{2x} \sin(y), we need to compute the partial derivatives of uu with respect to xx and yy and apply the formula for the total differential:

du=uxdx+uydydu = \frac{\partial u}{\partial x} dx + \frac{\partial u}{\partial y} dy

Step 1: Compute the partial derivative of uu with respect to xx.

u=e2xsin(y)u = e^{2x} \sin(y)

Since sin(y)\sin(y) is treated as a constant with respect to xx, we apply the chain rule:

ux=x(e2x)sin(y)=2e2xsin(y)\frac{\partial u}{\partial x} = \frac{\partial}{\partial x} \left( e^{2x} \right) \sin(y) = 2e^{2x} \sin(y)

Step 2: Compute the partial derivative of uu with respect to yy.

u=e2xsin(y)u = e^{2x} \sin(y)

Here, e2xe^{2x} is treated as a constant with respect to yy, so:

uy=e2xcos(y)\frac{\partial u}{\partial y} = e^{2x} \cos(y)

Step 3: Write the total differential dudu.

Now, combine the two partial derivatives:

du=(2e2xsin(y))dx+(e2xcos(y))dydu = \left( 2e^{2x} \sin(y) \right) dx + \left( e^{2x} \cos(y) \right) dy

Thus, the exact differential dudu is:

du=2e2xsin(y)dx+e2xcos(y)dydu = 2e^{2x} \sin(y) \, dx + e^{2x} \cos(y) \, dy


Would you like more details on how to apply this to specific problems, or do you have any questions? Here are a few related questions:

  1. How do you apply the total differential in optimization problems?
  2. What is the difference between an exact and an inexact differential?
  3. Can the total differential be used to approximate the change in a function for small changes in xx and yy?
  4. How do you compute partial derivatives for functions involving products of exponential and trigonometric functions?
  5. How would you find the total differential for a function of three variables?

Tip: When computing total differentials, always remember to apply the chain rule and treat other variables as constants when differentiating with respect to one variable.
