you have asked this before, do implicit differentiation
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i tired but it will not accept the answer. and whenever i work it out i get something different
OpenStudy (anonymous):
its not taking that either
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
ln(xy) = e^(x+y)
d/dx[ln(xy)] = d/dx[e^(x+y)]
(y+xy')/(xy) = d/dx[e^(x+y)]
(y+xy')/(xy) = (1+y')e^(x+y)
y+xy' = xy(1+y')e^(x+y)
y+xy' = xye^(x+y)+xyy'e^(x+y)
y - xye^(x+y) =xyy'e^(x+y)-xy'
y - xye^(x+y) =y'(xye^(x+y)-x)
(y - xye^(x+y) )/(xye^(x+y)-x) =y'
y' = (y - xye^(x+y) )/(xye^(x+y)-x)

Sorry I was mistaken :D he is right

bit of a mess, but you should be able follow (somewhat...lol)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so why when you do that you get (y+xyprime)/xy at the begining?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
OHHH
OpenStudy (anonymous):
got it
lol
OpenStudy (anonymous):
tyvm that helped alot

d/dx[ln(xy)]
[(xy)']/(xy) .... derive ln(xy)...don't forget to use the chain rule
(y+xy')/(xy) .... use the product rule to derive (xy)
