Derivative and divison [SOLVED]

80 Views Asked by At

[SOLUTION: Like Tom-Himler said: numerator is wrong because chain-rule was not followed]

I am reading, Calculus Made Easy and there is this example on page 73:

$$\omega = \frac{\sqrt{1-\theta^2}}{1+\theta}$$ (notice square-root is only in numerator). The author made the calculation easier by cancelling out, $$\omega = \sqrt\frac{1-\theta}{1+\theta}$$ (notice square-root is in both numerator and denominator) and then taking the derivative $$\frac{d\omega}{d\theta} = \frac{-1}{(1+\theta)\sqrt{1-\theta^2}}$$

But when I do the derivative without cancelling out, it does not come out to be correct.

Quotient rules states that the derivative of a function that is the ratio of two different functions is $$\frac{d}{dx}\frac{u(x)}{v(x)} = \frac{(v \frac{du}{dx}) -(u\frac{dv}{dx})}{v^2}$$

Hence $u = (1 - \theta^2), v = (1+\theta)$

$$\frac{d\omega}{d\theta}$$ evaluates to

  1. Numerator $$\frac{(1+\theta)}{2\cdot \sqrt{1-\theta^2}} - \sqrt {1 - \theta^2}\cdot 1$$

  2. Denominator $$(1+\theta)^2 = (1+\theta)(1+\theta)$$

  3. Simplifying numerator: $$\frac{(1+\theta) - 2(1-\theta^2)}{2\sqrt{1 - \theta^2}}$$

  4. Putting back numerator and denominator $$\frac{(1+\theta) -2(1+\theta)(1-\theta)}{2(1+\theta)(1+\theta)\sqrt{1-\theta^2}}\\ \frac{1-2(1-\theta)}{2(1+\theta)\sqrt{1-\theta^2}}\\ \frac{1-2+2\theta}{2(1+\theta)\sqrt{1-\theta^2}}\\ \frac{-1+2\theta}{2(1+\theta)\sqrt{1-\theta^2}}$$

This does not match the answer the book gave.

Where did I go wrong ?

Don't forget to use the chain rule. Your numerator is wrong. -Tom Himler (from comments).
