Today we will learn how to structure prompts for advanced math. Who can tell me what we need when differentiating a function?
We need to specify which function we're differentiating!
Exactly! If I say 'Differentiate f(x) = xΒ² + 3x', what would the output be?
It should be f'(x) = 2x + 3.
Right! Remember: when differentiating, we apply the power rule. Key phrase: 'power down and multiply.'
Solving Systems of Equations

Letβs talk about solving systems of equations. Whatβs an effective way to prompt this task?
Maybe something like 'Solve the system of equations 2x + 3y = 5 and x - y = 2'?
Correct! This approach allows AI to understand the task. Whatβs the first step to solve this?
We could use substitution or elimination!
Great! Thatβs the core of itβwe can choose a method based on the prompt's direction.

Do you remember the 'chain-of-thought' prompting technique? How can it be used effectively?
We can break down the problem into smaller steps.
Precisely! For instance, if asked to solve for x in x + 3 = 10, how would we structure that?
To show the steps, we start with x = 10 - 3.
Fantastic! So it's all about clear, logical steps. Remember: Step-by-step equals better solutions.

Include keywords:
- βSimplify the expressionβ¦"
- βDifferentiate with respect to xβ¦"
- βSolve the system of equationsβ¦"
Detailed Explanation
In this chunk, we highlight specific keywords that are essential when formulating prompts for advanced mathematics and logic tasks. These keywords guide the AI in understanding precisely what action is required. For instance, when you use the keyword 'differentiate', you are asking the model to find the derivative of a function. This type of structured language helps the AI correctly interpret and respond to requests.
Examples & Analogies
Think of it as giving directions to a delivery person. If you just say 'go' without specifying where to go or what to deliver, they'll be confused. However, if you say, 'Deliver this package to 123 Maple Street', it becomes very clear. Similarly, clear keywords make it obvious to AI what you expect.
Differentiation Example

Prompt:
βDifferentiate the function f(x) = xΒ² + 3x with respect to x.β
Output:
f'(x) = 2x + 3
Detailed Explanation
This chunk illustrates an example of a prompt that involves differentiation. We ask the AI to differentiate the function f(x) = xΒ² + 3x concerning x. The output, f'(x) = 2x + 3, shows that we've successfully derived the function. To differentiate, we apply the power rule, which states that if you have x to a power, you multiply by that power and decrease the power by one. Thus, for xΒ², it becomes 2x, and for 3x, it simply becomes 3.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine you're trying to find the rate at which a car is speeding up at various distances. Differentiating is like figuring out how quickly the speed (the derivative) changes as you travel further down the road (the original function). So, if you're tracking a car's speed based on its distance traveled, differentiation helps you see how its speed changes at any point.
