Find dy/dx implicitly.. ew ;p

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[6e^{xy}-2x=y^2+13x^2\]

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Ok this one is long

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not good at implicit differentiation... at all! ;/

OpenStudy (abb0t):

but try it and see if you can get to this: \[6e^{xy}\frac{ dy }{ dx }-2y \frac{ dy }{ dx } = 26x-2e^{xy}y\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^ 2y? it's 2x?

OpenStudy (abb0t):

the first term should be \[6xe^{xy}\frac{ dy }{ dx }\] I missed the x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait can we go step by step.. because I don't even know how to solve implicitly?

OpenStudy (abb0t):

I don't want to just give you the answer, but I will start you off, sound good?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't wait the answer lol? I want to know the steps of how to solve it?

hartnn (hartnn):

if you know product rule and chain rule, you are good to start...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am not sure about the answer but can I join in the topic? I think I first step is to take the derivative on every term on both sides of the equation...

OpenStudy (abb0t):

\[6e^{xy} \] 6 is a constant, factor it out. \[\frac{ dy }{ dx } e^{xy} = e^{xy}\] this requires chain rule + product rule next. if you look @ the chain rule, you take the derivative of the function and then whatever is inside the function. or raised function. \[\frac{ dy }{ dx }(xy) = x (\frac{ dy }{ dx } )y+ y(\frac{ dy }{ dx })x\] since you are differentiating with respect to x, you just leave y' there \[ans: x \frac{ dy }{ dx }+ y\]

OpenStudy (abb0t):

put it all together, you get: \[6e^{xy}(x \frac{ dy }{ dx }+y) - .....\]

OpenStudy (abb0t):

You do the same for the other functions, use algebra then to solve for dy/dx. You're answer should look something like: \[\frac{ dy }{ dx }= \frac{ xy }{ xyz }\] or some form like that. where you only have x and y on one side and dy/dx on the other.
