It has been proved by CAYLEY that if x11, x12, x21 … are independent variables, x = det (xik), ξ = det (ξik), (i, k = 1, … n) where ξik =∂/∂xik then by formal derivation ξxα = α(α + 1)…(α + n − 1)xα−1. This is a special case of the formula

where m=1,…,n and with i = i1,..im; k= k1,…km and xi,… is the algebracial complement of i = i1,..im; k = k1,…km, in .
