implicit differentiation

OpenStudy (tylerd):

\[e^{xy}=\sin (y^2)\] find y'

OpenStudy (tylerd):

ive done it a few different ways and gotten different answers

OpenStudy (tylerd):

and the calculators online are also giving me different answers so, would like to see how you guys do it.

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

\[d(e^{xy}) = d(\sin(y^2)\]Use the chain rule. \[e^{xy} \cdot d(xy) = d(\sin(y^2) \cdot d(y^2)\]

OpenStudy (aum):

\[ e^{xy} = \sin(y^2) \\ \text{Differentiate with respect to x:} \\ e^{xy} * (xy' + y) = \cos(y^2) * 2y * y' \\ \]Gather up y' terms and solve for y'.

OpenStudy (tylerd):

i see

OpenStudy (aum):

\[\large y' = \frac{ye^{xy}}{2y\cos(y^2)-xe^{xy}} \]

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

\[e^{xy} \cdot( 1\cdot y +xy') = \cos(y^2) \cdot 2yy'\]\[ye^{xy} +xy'e^{xy} =2yy'\cos(y^2)\]\[-xy'e^{xy} +2yy'\cos(y^2)=ye^{xy}\]\[y'(-xe^{xy} +2y\cos(y^2)=ye^{xy}\]\[y'=\frac{ye^{xy}}{-xe^{xy} +2y\cos(y^2)}\]

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Eugh, the alignment is off and it looks ugly, but you get the point.

OpenStudy (tylerd):

ya i think i could just leave the negative sign out but

OpenStudy (tylerd):

looks about right

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Why would you leave out the negative sign?

OpenStudy (tylerd):

my teacher doesnt care

OpenStudy (tylerd):

well one sec

OpenStudy (tylerd):

im getting y'=-(e^xy*y)/(e^xy-2ycos(y^2)

OpenStudy (tylerd):

or a better way to put it y'=-(ye^xy)/(e^xy-2ycos(y^2)

OpenStudy (tylerd):

same thing thanks

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

No problem :D

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

thanks for the medal!
