Suppose that y is a differentiable function of x which satisfies the equation 5y2+7xsiny=cos5x Use the method of implicit differentiation to find dxdy.

if someone knows how to do this, could you briefly show me the steps that go along with it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Solution: differentiate implicitly so it will become: 10y dx/dy + 7x cosy dx/dy + 7 siny = -5 sin 5x (you use product rule in differentiating 7xsiny). then, you group like terms, so the answer will be: 10y dx/dy + 7x cosy dx/dy = -5sin5x - 7 siny then factor out dx/dy : dx/dy(10y + 7x cosy) = - 5 sin5x - 7siny then divide 10y+7x cosy both sides to cancel the 10y+7xcosy coming up with your answer (-5sin5x - 7siny) / ( 10y + 7x cosy)

apparently there is a mistake in this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what mistake ? ^^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not sure, im trying to figure it out right now but the answer is apparently incorrect

OpenStudy (anonymous):

rechecked my answer if you mean 5y^2 in your question not 5y*2 then my answer is corect ^^
