Find the first partial derivative with respect to a
∂f∂v=a1
Simplify
v=af
Find the first partial derivative by treating the variable a as a constant and differentiating with respect to f
∂f∂v=∂f∂(af)
Use differentiation rule ∂x∂(g(x)f(x))=(g(x))2∂x∂(f(x))×g(x)−f(x)×∂x∂(g(x))
∂f∂v=a2∂f∂(f)a−f×∂f∂(a)
Use ∂x∂xn=nxn−1 to find derivative
∂f∂v=a21×a−f×∂f∂(a)
Use ∂x∂(c)=0 to find derivative
∂f∂v=a21×a−f×0
Any expression multiplied by 1 remains the same
∂f∂v=a2a−f×0
Any expression multiplied by 0 equals 0
∂f∂v=a2a−0
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
∂f∂v=a2a
