Hello!

 

I have the following situation that I'm having trouble with . I am a total beginner in Maple, btw.

I have a long equation, involving a variable (x) , several other variables, and a function of x, F(x). A priory, this function is unspecified (its a probability density function, that may depend on whichever distribution it follows). I would like to have Maple operate on this function as if its a function of x, but without specifying. For example, lets say I have

x + yF(x)=0

I would like to derive it and have Maple return me

1 + yF'(x)=0

Is this possible?

 

Thanks!
