how do you differentiate 6xy with respect to x?

Question

lgbasallote · Answer

is this implicit differentiation? if not then you consider y as a constant

anonymous · Answer

yeh sorry its inplicit defferentiation

anonymous · Answer

still don'know how to do it tho..

lgbasallote · Answer

you use product rule..however the derivative of y is y'

.sam. · Answer

6xy

$$6(x\frac{dy}{dx}+y)$$

anonymous · Answer

huh isnt it...6dy/dx

lgbasallote · Answer

product rule jsmart...x times derivative of y plus y times derivative of x..remember?

anonymous · Answer

ok i will give u some trick so that u can solve implicit function easily

cwrw238 · Answer

you treat y has a function of x so derivative of y is y'

anonymous · Answer

ok yeah i get it now, been a while since ive done product rule, cheers

amistre64 · Answer

unless it states implicit; this would read more like a partial derivative

amistre64 · Answer

the 6y is considered to be one big unknown constant K

Kx derives to K

K = 6y ....

amistre64 · Answer

i really should wake up before attempting to read these things ;/

lgbasallote · Answer

though he did say that it will be solved via implicit so ha! :P haha jk
