Math Problem Statement

If u^3 + v + w = x + y^2 + z^2, u + v^3 + w = x^2 + y + z^2, u + v + w^3 = x^2 + y^2 + z, then evaluate the Jacobian determinant of ∂(u,v,w)/∂(x,y,z).

Solution

The problem given is to evaluate the Jacobian determinant of the transformation (u,v,w)(x,y,z)\frac{(u, v, w)}{(x, y, z)}, where the functions uu, vv, and ww are implicitly defined by the given equations:

  1. u3+v+w=x+y2+z2u^3 + v + w = x + y^2 + z^2
  2. u+v3+w=x2+y+z2u + v^3 + w = x^2 + y + z^2
  3. u+v+w3=x2+y2+zu + v + w^3 = x^2 + y^2 + z

This involves finding the partial derivatives of u,v,wu, v, w with respect to x,y,zx, y, z and using them to construct the Jacobian matrix J=[(u,v,w)(x,y,z)]J = \left[\frac{\partial(u,v,w)}{\partial(x,y,z)}\right], and finally calculating the determinant of this matrix.

The answer is given as:

14xy4yz4zx+6xyz27u2v2w2+23(u2+v2+w2)\frac{1 - 4xy - 4yz - 4zx + 6xyz}{27u^2 v^2 w^2 + 2 - 3\left(u^2 + v^2 + w^2\right)}

This suggests the Jacobian has been computed and simplified to this expression.

Would you like to go over the steps to solve such a Jacobian or any further clarification?

Here are 5 questions to expand your understanding:

  1. What is a Jacobian matrix, and how is it applied in multivariable calculus?
  2. Can the Jacobian determinant help in understanding transformations between coordinate systems?
  3. How are implicit functions differentiated in this context?
  4. How does the chain rule extend to functions of multiple variables in partial differentiation?
  5. What might the physical or geometric interpretation of this determinant be in a real-world scenario?

Tip: Always check if you need the inverse Jacobian when switching between coordinate systems!
