How do I simplify this

OpenStudy (junyang96):

OpenStudy (junyang96):

from the first to the second one

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I don't understand if you are doing dy/dx and have Ys on both sides, where are your y primes ?

OpenStudy (junyang96):

oh sorry this was an implicit differentiation. I got the answer same as the top one but I can't simplify it further to get the answer at the bottom

OpenStudy (junyang96):

http://prntscr.com/52xhih the original question is to find dy/dx using implicit differentiation

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\LARGE\color{black}{ y\tan(x+y)=4}\) Product rule, with a chain rule for tangent.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

dy/dx \(\Large\color{black}{ \frac{dy}{dx}(y)\times \tan(x+y)~+~ y \times \frac{dy}{dx}\tan(x+y)=\frac{dy}{dx}(4)}\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

My internet sucks, sorry.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

We know that deriv. of tanx is sec^2x \(\Large\color{black}{ y'\times \tan(x+y)~+~ y \times \sec^2(x+y)\times \frac{dy}{dx}(x+y)=0}\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I am applying chain for tangent, ....

OpenStudy (junyang96):

yeah I actually did it and arrived at this http://prntscr.com/52xjnp but I just need help on simplifiying it to this http://prntscr.com/52xk0n

OpenStudy (junyang96):

gosh my language sucks. Sorry it isn't my first language

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

No...

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Lets start over, okay?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\Large\color{black}{ y \tan(x+y)=4}\)

OpenStudy (junyang96):

How about I post my written solution here? I hope you can read it. My writing sucks too

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

You are doing some unnecessary stuff.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\LARGE\color{black}{ y\tan(x+y)=4}\) Product rule, with a chain rule for tangent.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

At first, \(\Large\color{black}{ \frac{dy}{dx}\tan(x+y)=}\) \(\Large\color{black}{ \sec^2(x+y) \times\frac{dy}{dx}(x+y)}\) \(\Large\color{black}{ \sec^2(x+y) \times(\frac{dy}{dx}x+\frac{dy}{dx}y)}\) \(\Large\color{black}{ \sec^2(x+y) \times(1+y')}\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Now, do the product rule, knowing the dy/dx of tan(x+y)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\Large\color{blue}{ \frac{dy}{dx} \tan(y)=\sec^2(x+y) \times(1+y')}\) is given. (we know this) \(\Large\color{black}{ y\tan(x+y)=4}\) \(\large\color{black}{ \frac{dy}{dx}(y)\times\tan(x+y)+(y)\times\frac{dy}{dx}\tan(x+y)=\frac{dy}{dx}4}\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

MY internet again... I am sorry.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I hope you can finish, if not, or if something doesn't make sense to you, please ask.

OpenStudy (junyang96):

OpenStudy (junyang96):

http://prntscr.com/52xnkc

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

re-wrote sec and tan in terms of cosine,
