Read the result correctly

The product of off-diagonal derivatives is the direct answer to “rearrange the two-by-two jacobian determinant relationship and solve for product of off-diagonal derivatives.” Read it with the units shown beside the inputs; a sign, angle, percentage or rate changes what the number means.

A worked check

product of main-diagonal derivatives=12 and product of off-diagonal derivatives=5 produce Jacobian determinant=7.

Where this model stops being reliable

Each input is already a product of the appropriate partial derivatives.

Learn it by changing one value

Begin with the worked example, then change one value while keeping the others fixed. Compare the new result and calculation steps to identify which part of the formula changed.
