Implicit differentiation help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[e^ycosx = 1+\sin(xy)\]

hartnn (hartnn):

have you tried it ? you'll need product rule and chain rule. know them ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah i have finished it, just need to check my answer. I used the product rule initially: \[\frac{ d }{ dx }e^y.cosx + e^y.\frac{ d }{ dx }cosx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

resulting in: \[e^y.\frac{ dy }{ dx }.cosx + e^y.(-sinx) = 0 + \cos(xy).(y+x.\frac{ dy }{ dx })\]

hartnn (hartnn):

going good till now, correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

continuing: \[e^y.cosx.\frac{ dy }{ dx } - e^ysinx = y.\cos(xy) +x.\cos(xy).\frac{ dy }{ dx }\] --> distributed right hand side by cos(xy)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would that be correct to distribute like i did?

hartnn (hartnn):

yes, go on

hartnn (hartnn):

collect the terms with dy/dx together

OpenStudy (anonymous):

continuing: \[e^y.cosx.\frac{ dy }{ dx } - x.\cos(xy).\frac{ dy }{ dx }=y.\cos(xy)+e^y.sinx\] --> moved dy/dx to the left.

hartnn (hartnn):

correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

continuing: take out common dy/dx on the left: \[\frac{ dy }{ dx }(e^y.cosx- x.\cos(xy))=y.\cos(xy)+e^y.sinx\] divide right side by factor of the left side: \[\frac{ dy }{ dx }=\frac{y.\cos(xy)+e^y.sinx}{(e^y.cosx- x.\cos(xy))}\]

hartnn (hartnn):

thats correct, i got the same. good work! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks so much!

hartnn (hartnn):

welcome ^_^
