Fluid flow The x- and y-components of a fluid moving in two dimensions are given by the following functions u and v. The speed of the fluid at (x, y) is s(x, y) = \(\sqrt{u(x, y)^{2}+v(x, y)^{2}}\). Use the Chain Rule to find \(\partial s / \partial x\) and \(\partial x / \partial y\). u(x,y) = 2y and v(x,y) = -2x; \(x \geq 0 \text { and } y \geq 0\)

Question
The Ideal Gas Law The pressure, temperature, and volume of an ideal gas are related by PV = kT, where k > O is a constant. Any two of the variables may be considered independent, which determines the third variable.
a. Use implicit differentiation to compute the partial derivatives \(\frac{\partial P}{\partial V}, \frac{\partial T}{\partial P}, \text { and } \frac{\partial V}{\partial T}\)
b. Show that . Show that \(\frac{\partial P}{\partial V} \frac{\partial T}{\partial P} \frac{\partial V}{\partial T}=-1\). (See Exercise 63 for a generalization.)
