Partial derivative 8












2












$begingroup$


I have the following derivative:
$$f'(k)=frac{a(1+bk)}{k^{1-a}(1+abk)^{^{a}}}$$
and have to compute the partial derivative with respect to b, possibly obtaining the following result:



$$frac{partial f'(k)}{partial b}=frac{ak^{a}(1-a)(1+a+abk)}{(1+abk)^{a+1}}$$



I've tried to do the exercise but I cannot get closer to the desired result than this:



$$frac{partial f'{(k)}}{partial b}=ak^{a}(1+abk)^{-a}left [ 1-frac{a(a+abk)}{(1+abk)} right ]$$



Thank you so much and Happy Christmas! :)

    Thank u so much! I will try that way. What is the advantage of log differentiation? It is possible to obtain the same result with normal derivation?

    The advantage is that evrything becomes simpler. For sure, using normal derivation will give the same answer (but more tedious).

    In this case since k is now a constant in the first step i have to start with this, right? $$frac{y'}{y}=frac{k}{(1+bk)}-frac{a^{2}k}{(1+abk)}$$

Your answer is correct. It's just a matter of simplifications.
begin{align}
frac{partial f'(k)}{partial b}
& = frac{ak^{a}(1-a)(1+a+abk)}{(1+abk)^{a+1}}\
& = frac{ak^{a}(1+a+abk-a-a^2-a^2bk)}{(1+abk)^{a+1}}\
& = frac{ak^{a}(1+abk-a^2-a^2bk)}{(1+abk)^{a+1}}\
&=frac{ak^{a}(1+abk)^{-a}(1+abk-a^2-a^2bk)}{(1+abk)}\
& = ak^{a}(1+abk)^{-a}left [ 1-frac{a(a+abk)}{(1+abk)} right ]
