How does Leibniz notation work?

Question

HIX Tutor · Accepted Answer

undefined To use Leibniz notation, follow these steps:
1. Write 'dy/dx', where 'y' is the dependent variable and 'x' is the independent variable.
2. Use the notation to represent the derivative of a function with respect to another variable.
3. Remember to follow the rules of differentiation when using Leibniz notation.

Luke Alvarez · Answer

#d/dx# represents the derivative with respect to #x#.
So, the first derivative is
#y'={dy}/{dx}# 
the second derivative is
#y''=d/{dx}(dy/dx)={d^2y}/dx^2#,
and so on.

undefined Leibniz notation is a mathematical notation used in calculus to represent derivatives and integrals. In Leibniz notation:

1. Derivatives are denoted by $ \frac{{dy}}{{dx}} $ or $ \frac{{d}}{{dx}}(y) $, where $ \frac{{dy}}{{dx}} $ represents the rate of change of $ y $ with respect to $ x $.

2. Integrals are denoted by $ \int f(x) \, dx $, where $ f(x) $ is the function being integrated, and $ dx $ represents the variable of integration.

Leibniz notation emphasizes the relationship between quantities and their rates of change or accumulated values over an interval.
