Find the first partial derivative with respect to p
∂v∂ϵ=−p
Evaluate
ϵ=ϵ0−vp
Simplify
ϵ=1−vp
Find the first partial derivative by treating the variable p as a constant and differentiating with respect to v
∂v∂ϵ=∂v∂(1−vp)
Use differentiation rule ∂x∂(f(x)±g(x))=∂x∂(f(x))±∂x∂(g(x))
∂v∂ϵ=∂v∂(1)−∂v∂(vp)
Use ∂x∂(c)=0 to find derivative
∂v∂ϵ=0−∂v∂(vp)
