Math Problem Statement

Find the Jacobian of uxyz, vxy + yz + zx, w=x+y+z

Solution

To compute the Jacobian matrix of the given functions:

  • u=xyzu = xyz
  • v=xy+yz+zxv = xy + yz + zx
  • w=x+y+zw = x + y + z

with respect to the variables x,y,zx, y, z, we calculate the partial derivatives of each function with respect to x,y,x, y, and zz.

The Jacobian matrix JJ is defined as:

\begin{bmatrix} \frac{\partial u}{\partial x} & \frac{\partial u}{\partial y} & \frac{\partial u}{\partial z} \\ \frac{\partial v}{\partial x} & \frac{\partial v}{\partial y} & \frac{\partial v}{\partial z} \\ \frac{\partial w}{\partial x} & \frac{\partial w}{\partial y} & \frac{\partial w}{\partial z} \end{bmatrix}.$$ ### Step-by-Step Calculations: 1. **Partial derivatives of $$u = xyz$$:** - $$\frac{\partial u}{\partial x} = yz$$ - $$\frac{\partial u}{\partial y} = xz$$ - $$\frac{\partial u}{\partial z} = xy$$ 2. **Partial derivatives of $$v = xy + yz + zx$$:** - $$\frac{\partial v}{\partial x} = y + z$$ - $$\frac{\partial v}{\partial y} = x + z$$ - $$\frac{\partial v}{\partial z} = x + y$$ 3. **Partial derivatives of $$w = x + y + z$$:** - $$\frac{\partial w}{\partial x} = 1$$ - $$\frac{\partial w}{\partial y} = 1$$ - $$\frac{\partial w}{\partial z} = 1$$ ### Forming the Jacobian matrix: $$J = \begin{bmatrix} yz & xz & xy \\ y+z & x+z & x+y \\ 1 & 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix}.$$ This is the Jacobian matrix for the given functions. --- Do you have any questions, or would you like further explanation? ### Follow-up Questions: 1. How is the Jacobian used in real-world applications, like in transformations or optimization problems? 2. What happens if one of the functions depends on other parameters beyond $$x, y, z$$? 3. Could you derive the determinant of the Jacobian, and what would its significance be in this case? 4. How do the functions' nonlinearities affect the Jacobian interpretation? 5. Can this Jacobian matrix be used to analyze the behavior of the system near a specific point? ### Tip: When interpreting the Jacobian, remember that it captures the rate of change of each output variable with respect to each input variable, making it critical in multivariate calculus applications like linearization and change-of-variable techniques in integrals.
