Solve p=u/c - ScanMath

Simplify

p = \frac{u}{c}

Find the first partial derivative by treating the variable c as a constant and differentiating with respect to u

\frac{\partial p}{\partial u} = \frac{\partial}{\partial u} (\frac{u}{c})

Use differentiation rule \frac{\partial}{\partial x} (\frac{f ( x )}{g ( x )}) = \frac{\frac{\partial}{\partial x} ( f ( x )) \times g ( x ) - f ( x ) \times \frac{\partial}{\partial x} ( g ( x ) )}{( g ( x ) ) ^{2}}

\frac{\partial p}{\partial u} = \frac{\frac{\partial}{\partial u} ( u ) c - u \times \frac{\partial}{\partial u} ( c )}{c ^{2}}

Use \frac{\partial}{\partial x} x^{n} = n x^{n - 1} to find derivative

\frac{\partial p}{\partial u} = \frac{1 \times c - u \times \frac{\partial}{\partial u} ( c )}{c ^{2}}

Use \frac{\partial}{\partial x} (c) = 0 to find derivative

\frac{\partial p}{\partial u} = \frac{1 \times c - u \times 0}{c ^{2}}

Any expression multiplied by 1 remains the same

\frac{\partial p}{\partial u} = \frac{c - u \times 0}{c ^{2}}

Any expression multiplied by 0 equals 0

\frac{\partial p}{\partial u} = \frac{c - 0}{c ^{2}}

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

\frac{\partial p}{\partial u} = \frac{c}{c ^{2}}
