find dy/dx if e^(xy)=x+y+xy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just need help with the derivative of e^xy

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

what is the derivative of \(xy\) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y*dy/dx

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

use the product rule

OpenStudy (anonymous):

on what term?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}(f\cdot g)=f'g+fg' }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

seen this before?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Good

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}(x+f(x))=xf'(x)+(x')f(x)=xf'(x)+f(x) }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

am I right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dont see how it equals the last part

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

The derivative of x is what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh I see yea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

And now, do you see what I got before? \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}(x+f(x))=xf'(x)+(x')f(x)=xf'(x)+f(x) }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

agree or not?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

agree

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

And same way, \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}(x+y)=xy'+(x')y=xy'+y }\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Because y is really a function of x.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Ok, so what is the derivative of \(xy\) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x*y'+y

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Ok, good

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

And you know that: \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}e^{f(x)} =e^{f(x)}\cdot f'(x) }\) by the CHAIN RULE principal \(.....\) correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Ok, so what do you get for: \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}e^{xy} =? }\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[e ^{xy}*(x*\frac{ dy }{ dx }+y)\]

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

now we will differentiate the right side = x + y + xy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[1+\frac{ dy }{ dx}+(x*\frac{ dy }{ dx}+y)\]

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes, very good

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

So, when you differentiate both sides, you get: \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle e^{xy}\left(x\frac{dy}{dx}+y\right)=1+\frac{dy}{dx}+x\frac{dy}{dx}+y }\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Isolate the \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}, }\) (just using algebra)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Did you also get this? \[\frac{ dy }{ dx }=\frac{ 1+ y}{ x e^{xy}-1-x }\]

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I doubt that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh yea I forgot something

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle e^{xy}\left(x\frac{dy}{dx}+y\right)=1+\frac{dy}{dx}+x\frac{dy}{dx}+y }\) \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle xe^{xy}\frac{dy}{dx}+ye^{xy}=1+\frac{dy}{dx}+x\frac{dy}{dx}+y }\) I will start you off

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ dy }{ dx }=\frac{ 1+y+ye ^{xy} }{ xe ^{xy} -1-x}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

woops the last term in numerator shouldbe negative

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Yes, that is exactly correct \(\large\color{blue}{ \displaystyle \frac{ dy }{ dx }=\frac{ 1+y-ye ^{xy} }{ xe ^{xy} -1-x} }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Good job !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Awesome Thank You So Much! :)
