Math Problem Statement

Jika w = f(ax + by), tunjukkan bahwa: b (∂w/∂x) - a (∂w/∂y) = 0

Solution

The text in the image is written in Indonesian. It seems to be asking for the proof of a partial differential equation.

The relevant part from the image reads:

6) Jika w=f(ax+by)w = f(ax + by), tunjukkan bahwa: bwxawy=0b \frac{\partial w}{\partial x} - a \frac{\partial w}{\partial y} = 0

Translation:

6) If w=f(ax+by)w = f(ax + by), show that: bwxawy=0b \frac{\partial w}{\partial x} - a \frac{\partial w}{\partial y} = 0

Solution:

Let u=ax+byu = ax + by. Then w=f(u)w = f(u).

Step 1: Compute wx\frac{\partial w}{\partial x}

Since w=f(u)w = f(u) and u=ax+byu = ax + by, we apply the chain rule: wx=dfduux\frac{\partial w}{\partial x} = \frac{df}{du} \cdot \frac{\partial u}{\partial x} We have: ux=a\frac{\partial u}{\partial x} = a Thus: wx=adfdu\frac{\partial w}{\partial x} = a \frac{df}{du}

Step 2: Compute wy\frac{\partial w}{\partial y}

Similarly, applying the chain rule: wy=dfduuy\frac{\partial w}{\partial y} = \frac{df}{du} \cdot \frac{\partial u}{\partial y} We have: uy=b\frac{\partial u}{\partial y} = b Thus: wy=bdfdu\frac{\partial w}{\partial y} = b \frac{df}{du}

Step 3: Substitute into the original expression

We need to show: bwxawy=0b \frac{\partial w}{\partial x} - a \frac{\partial w}{\partial y} = 0 Substituting the values: badfduabdfdu=0b \cdot a \frac{df}{du} - a \cdot b \frac{df}{du} = 0 This simplifies to: abdfduabdfdu=0ab \frac{df}{du} - ab \frac{df}{du} = 0 Thus, the equation is satisfied, and the statement is proven.
