<h1><br>Next Stage. What to do with Constants</h1>
<p class="a rotatedFloralHeartBullet">
<p>In our equations we have regarded $x$ as growing,
and as a result of $x$ being made to grow $y$ also
changed its value and grew. We usually think of $x$
as a quantity that we can vary; and, regarding the
variation of $x$ as a sort of <em>cause</em>, we consider the resulting
variation of $y$ as an <em>effect</em>. In other words, we
regard the value of $y$ as depending on that of $x$. Both
$x$ and $y$ are variables, but $x$ is the one that we operate
upon, and $y$ is the “dependent variable.” In all the
preceding chapter we have been trying to find out
rules for the proportion which the dependent variation
in $y$ bears to the variation independently made in $x$.
<p><a name="diffrule2"/>
Our next step is to find out what effect on the
process of differentiating is caused by the presence of
<em>constants</em>, that is, of numbers which don't change
when $x$ or $y$ change their values.
<p>
<em>Added Constants.</em><p><a name="addconst"/>
Let us begin with some simple case of an added
constant, thus:
Let
\begin{align*}
y=x^3+5.
\end{align*}
Just as before, let us suppose $x$ to grow to $x+dx$ and
$y$ to grow to $y+dy$.
\begin{align*}
\text{Then:}\;
y + dy &= (x + dx)^3 + 5 \\
&= x^3 + 3x^2\, dx + 3x(dx)^2 + (dx)^3 + 5.
\end{align*}
Neglecting the small quantities of higher orders, this
becomes
\begin{align*}
y + dy &= x^3 + 3x^2·dx + 5. \\
\end{align*}
Subtract the original $y = x^3 + 5$, and we have left:
\begin{align*}
dy &= 3x^2\, dx. \\
\frac{dy}{dx} &= 3x^2.
\end{align*}
<p>So the $5$ has quite disappeared. It added nothing
to the growth of $x$, and does not enter into the
differential coefficient. If we had put $7$, or $700$, or
any other number, instead of $5$, it would have disappeared.
So if we take the letter $a$, or $b$, or $c$ to
represent any constant, it will simply disappear when
we differentiate.
<p>If the additional constant had been of negative value,
such as $-5$ or $-b$, it would equally have disappeared.
<p>
<em>Multiplied Constants.</em><p>
Take as a simple experiment this case:
<p>Let $y = 7x^2$.
Then on proceeding as before we get:
\begin{align*}
y + dy &= 7(x+dx)^2 \\
&= 7\{x^2 + 2x·dx + (dx)^2\} \\
&= 7x^2 + 14x·dx + 7(dx)^2. \\
\end{align*}
Then, subtracting the original $y = 7x^2$, and neglecting
the last term, we have
\begin{align*}
dy &= 14x·dx.\\
\frac{dy}{dx} &= 14x.
\end{align*}
<p>Let us illustrate this example by working out the
graphs of the equations $y = 7x^2$ and $\dfrac{dy}{dx} = 14x$, by
assigning to $x$ a set of successive values, $0$, $1$, $2$, $3$, etc.,
and finding the corresponding values of $y$ and of $\dfrac{dy}{dx}$.
<p>These values we tabulate as follows:
<table>
<tr><td>$x$</td><td>$0 $</td><td>$1 $</td><td>$2 $</td><td>$3 $</td><td>$4 $</td><td>$5 $</td><td>$-1 $</td><td>$ -2 $</td><td>$ -3 </td></tr>
<tr><td>$y$</td><td>$0 $</td><td>$7 $</td><td>$28 $</td><td>$63 $</td><td>$112 $</td><td>$175 $</td><td>$7 $</td><td>$ 28$</td><td>$ 63</td></tr>
<tr><td>$\dfrac{dy}{dx}$</td><td>$0 $</td><td>$14 $</td><td>$28 $</td><td>$42 $</td><td>$56 $</td><td>$70 $</td><td>$-14$</td><td>$ -28$</td><td>$ -42</td></tr>
</table>
<p>
<p><a name="figure6">
<img src="33283-t/images/040a.pdf.png-1.png">
<p>Now plot these values to some convenient scale,
and we obtain the two curves, <a href="#figure6">Fig. 6</a> and <a href="#figure6a">Fig. 6a</a>.
<p><a name="figure6a">
<img src="33283-t/images/040b.pdf.png-1.png">
<p>Carefully compare the two figures, and verify by
inspection that the height of the ordinate of the
derived curve, <a href="#figure6a">Fig. 6a</a>, is proportional to the <em>slope</em> of
the original curve, (See <a href="10.html#slope">here</a> about <em>slopes</em> of curves.)
<a href="#figure6">Figure 6</a>, at the corresponding value
of $x$. To the left of the origin, where the original
curve slopes negatively (that is, downward from left
to right) the corresponding ordinates of the derived
curve are negative.
<p><a name="differ"/>
Now if we look back at <a href="4.html#diffexample">here</a>, we shall see that
simply differentiating $x^2$ gives us $2x$. So that the
differential coefficient of $7x^2$ is just $7$ times as big as
that of $x^2$. If we had taken $8x^2$, the differential
coefficient would have come out eight times as great
as that of $x^2$. If we put $y = ax^2$, we shall get
\[
\frac{dy}{dx} = a × 2x.
\]
<p>If we had begun with $y = ax^n$, we should have had
$\dfrac{dy}{dx} = a×nx^{n-1}$. So that any mere multiplication by
a constant reappears as a mere multiplication when
the thing is differentiated. And, what is true about
multiplication is equally true about <em>division</em>: for if,
in the example above, we had taken as the constant $\frac{1}{7}$
instead of $7$, we should have had the same $\frac{1}{7}$ come
out in the result after differentiation.
<p>
<p><em>Some Further Examples</em>.
The following further examples, fully worked out,
will enable you to master completely the process of
differentiation as applied to ordinary algebraical expressions,
and enable you to work out by yourself the
examples given at the end of this chapter.
<p>(1) Differentiate $y = \dfrac{x^5}{7} - \dfrac{3}{5}$.
<p>$\dfrac{3}{5}$ is an added constant and vanishes (see <a href="5.html#addconst">here</a>).
<p>We may then write at once
\[
\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{7} × 5 × x^{5-1}, \\
\text{or}\;
\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{5}{7} x^4.
\]
<p>(2) Differentiate $y = a\sqrt{x} - \dfrac{1}{2}\sqrt{a}$.
<p>The term $\dfrac{1}{2}\sqrt{a}$ vanishes, being an added constant;
and as $a\sqrt{x}$, in the index form, is written $ax^{\frac{1}{2}}$, we
have
\[
\frac{dy}{dx}
= a × \frac{1}{2} × x^{\frac{1}{2}-1}
= \frac{a}{2} × x^{-\frac{1}{2}}, \\
\text{or}\;
\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{a}{2\sqrt{x}}.
\]
<p>(3) If $ay + bx = by - ax + (x+y)\sqrt{a^2 - b^2}$,
find the differential coefficient of $y$ with respect to $x$.
<p>As a rule an expression of this kind will need a
little more knowledge than we have acquired so far;
it is, however, always worth while to try whether the
expression can be put in a simpler form.
<p>First we must try to bring it into the form $y = {}$ some
expression involving $x$ only.
<p>The expression may be written
\[
(a-b)y + (a + b)x = (x+y) \sqrt{a^2 - b^2}.
\]
<p>Squaring, we get
\[
(a-b)^2 y^2 + (a + b)^2 x^2 + 2(a+b)(a-b)xy = (x^2+y^2+2xy)(a^2-b^2),
\]
which simplifies to
\begin{align*}
(a-b)^2y^2 + (a+b)^2 x^2 &= x^2(a^2 - b^2) + y^2(a^2 - b^2); \\
\text{ or}\;
[(a-b)^2 - (a^2 - b^2)]y^2 &= [(a^2 - b^2) - (a+b)^2]x^2, \\
\text{ that is}\;
2b(b-a)y^2 &= -2b(b+a)x^2;
\end{align*}
hence
\[
y = \sqrt{\frac{a+b}{a-b}} x \quad\text{and}\quad \frac{dy}{dx} = \sqrt{\frac{a+b}{a-b}}.
\]
<p>(4) The volume of a cylinder of radius $r$ and height $h$
is given by the formula $V = \pi r^2 h$. Find the rate of
variation of volume with the radius when $r = 5.5$ in.
and $h=20$ in. If $r = h$, find the dimensions of the
cylinder so that a change of $1$ in. in radius causes a
change of $400$ cub. in. in the volume.
<p>The rate of variation of $V$ with regard to $r$ is
\[
\frac{dV}{dr} = 2 \pi r h.
\]
<p>If $r = 5.5$ in. and $h=20$ in. this becomes $690.8$. It
means that a change of radius of $1$ inch will cause a
change of volume of $690.8$ cub. inch. This can be
easily verified, for the volumes with $r = 5$ and $r = 6$
are $1570$ cub. in. and $2260.8$ cub. in. respectively, and
$2260.8 - 1570 = 690.8$.
<p>Also, if
\[
r=h,\quad \dfrac{dV}{dr} = 2\pi r^2 = 400\quad \text{and}\quad r = h = \sqrt{\dfrac{400}{2\pi}} = 7.98 \text{in}.
\]
<p>(5) The reading $\theta$ of a Féry's Radiation pyrometer
is related to the Centigrade temperature $t$ of the
observed body by the relation
\[
\dfrac{\theta}{\theta_1} = \left(\dfrac{t}{t_1}\right)^4,
\]
where $\theta_1$ is the reading corresponding to a known temperature $t_1$
of the observed body.
<p>Compare the sensitiveness of the pyrometer at
temperatures $800°$C., $1000°$C., $1200°$C., given that it
read $25$ when the temperature was $1000°$C.
<p>The sensitiveness is the rate of variation of the
reading with the temperature, that is $\dfrac{d\theta}{dt}$. The formula
may be written
\[
\theta = \dfrac{\theta_1}{t_1^4} t^4 = \dfrac{25t^4}{1000^4},
\]
and we have
\[
\dfrac{d\theta}{dt} = \dfrac{100t^3}{1000^4} = \dfrac{t^3}{10,000,000,000}.
\]
<p>When $t=800$, $1000$ and $1200$, we get $\dfrac{d\theta}{dt} = 0.0512$, $0.1$ and
$0.1728$ respectively.
<p>The sensitiveness is approximately doubled from
$800°$ to $1000°$, and becomes three-quarters as great
again up to $1200°$.
<p>

change of thickness and for a small change of diameter

for being shrunk on a wheel, when the temperature $T$
varies.
