Euler's theorem: changing incorrect verb "derivating" to correct verb "differentiating"
Euler's theorem: corrected second <math>c_+</math> to a <math>c_-</math>
Line 121:
The results from Euler's theorem by differentiating the partial differential equation with respect to one variable.
 
In the case of a function of a single real variable (<math>n = 1</math>), the theorem implies that a continuously differentiable and positively homogeneous function of degree {{mvar|k}} has the form <math>f(x)=c_+ x^k</math> for <math>x>0</math> and <math>f(x)=c_- x^k</math> for <math>x<0.</math> The constants <math>c_+</math> and <math>c_+-</math> are not necessarily the same, as it is the case for the [[absolute value]].
