find dy/dx of ln(xy) = e^(x+y)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry I was mistaken :D he is right

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

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

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

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)
