Derivative with respect to a modified independent variable [duplicate]
I was not sure how to word this question, but I'm wondering how to evaluate
$$\frac{dy}{d(ax)}$$
where $y=f(x)$ and $a$ is a constant.
I was thinking I could write $y=f(ax/a)$ and rename $u=ax$, so $y …

Derivative of $f(\theta(t)))$ with respect to the derivative of $\theta$, i.e. $\frac{\parti...
Suppose I have an angle $\theta(t)$ as a function of time, and I'm considering the expression
$$f(t) = \dot{\theta}\sin(\theta)$$
Is it true that
$$
\frac{\partial f}{\partial \dot{\theta}} = \sin\the …
