Backpropagation to calculate derivative

I have got a task to calculate $frac{dv}{dx}$ using backpropagation, where



$v = z^2 + y$
$z = frac{y}{3}$
$y = arctan(x)$



Am I supposed to just use chain rule here or do something else? I'd really like to see an example of calculating this.

I did something like this



$frac{dv}{dz}$ = $2z$
$frac{dz}{dy}$ = $frac{1}{3}$
$frac{∂v}{∂y}$ = $1$
$frac{dv}{dy}$ = $frac{∂v}{∂z}$$*$$frac{dz}{dy}$ + $frac{∂v}{∂y}$ = $frac{2}{3}z$ $+1$
$frac{dv}{dx}$ = $frac{dv}{dy}$$*$$frac{dy}{dx}$ = $(frac{2}{3}z+1)*$ $frac{1}{(1+x^2)}$

  • Yes, you are supposed to use the chain rule.

  • Yes use the chain rule. If you like you can write this as $v=z^2+y=(y/3)^2+y=(arctan/3)^2+arctan(x)$ and calculate the derivative.

  • My teacher wrote that i'm not supposed to use "normal" differentiation but the backpropagation. So am I supposed to simply calculate it like that?
