Need HELP!

OpenStudy (***[isuru]***):

if x ln(y) - y ln(x) = 1 then prove\[[\frac{ dy }{ dx}]_{x=1} = e( e -1)\]

@phi , @ganeshie8 , @hartnn could u guys lend me a hand

OpenStudy (***[isuru]***):

@tukitw

OpenStudy (phi):

This looks like you should use implicit differentiation

OpenStudy (***[isuru]***):

huh.... I study Calculus in my mother language and therefor i don't understan some specific terms in calculus :/ but I can understand the steps... could u pls continue ?

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

\(\dfrac{d}{dx}\left(x\cdot f(x)\right) = x\left(\dfrac{d}{dx}f(x)\right) + \left(\dfrac{d}{dx}x\right)f(x)\) By the Product Rule. Let's see what you get.

OpenStudy (***[isuru]***):

ok ... i can go as far as here ....

OpenStudy (***[isuru]***):

\[\frac{ dy }{ dx } = \frac{ \frac{ y }{ x } - lny }{ \frac{ x }{ y } - \ln x}\]

OpenStudy (phi):

replace x with 1

OpenStudy (***[isuru]***):

how to remove y from this ?

OpenStudy (phi):

your answer is in terms of y. to get rid of the y use x ln(y) - y ln(x) = 1 evaluated at x=1 to solve for y

OpenStudy (***[isuru]***):

I think there is something to do with this |dw:1391436457773:dw|
