hi. i am tottaly new to the maple and i have a problem.

consider function f with variables x & y which are not independent. x & y are functions of t and the relation is unknown.

for example i wanna to the below job:

define f as f=x^2+y^2

differentiate it with respect to t : diff(f,t) which should give me 2(dx/dt)x+2(dy/dt)y

i've googled it alot and i couldn't find anything usefull.

(the problem is how to set x as a function of t with unknown relation and use it in another function and then differentiate it with respect to t)

thanks alot :)
