help please number 9 http://assets.openstudy.com/updates/attachments/575782a1e4b04b1a71f7aa00-marcelie-1465352875714-math185review.pdf

OpenStudy (marcelie):

@Photon336

OpenStudy (photon336):

implicit differentiation

OpenStudy (photon336):

\[\tan(x-y) = \frac{ y }{ 1+x^2 }\]

OpenStudy (photon336):

\[\tan(x-y) = \tan(u)*(du/dx)\] let's start with the left hand side first \[\sec^{2}(x-y)*(-\frac{ dy }{ dx }) = (y*(1+x^{2})^{\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }})~\]

OpenStudy (marcelie):

wait wouldnt it be on the right side sec ^2(x-y) (1-1dy/dx ) ?

OpenStudy (photon336):

yeah I totally missed that

OpenStudy (photon336):

\[\sec^{2}(x-y)(1-\frac{ dy }{ dx })\]

OpenStudy (photon336):

yeah nice work @marcelie

OpenStudy (marcelie):

no no im just making sure that im not mistaken bc math could be complicated @agent0smith

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

@Photon336 what are you doing? where did the square root come from?

OpenStudy (photon336):

LOL OMG

OpenStudy (marcelie):

D:

OpenStudy (photon336):

\[y(1+x^{2})^{-1} \] u = (1+x^2)^-1 du\[\frac{ -2xy }{ (1+x^{2})^{2} }+\frac{ 1 }{ (1+x^{2}) }*\frac{ dy }{ dx }\] - (1+x^2)^-2* -2x v = y dv = dy/dx

OpenStudy (photon336):

\[u = (1+x^{2})^{-1} du = -(1+x^{2})^{-2}*2x \] \[v = y ; dv = \frac{ dy }{ dx }\]

OpenStudy (photon336):

after this i'm taking a break

OpenStudy (marcelie):

lool hmm

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

@Photon336 i feel like the quotient rule makes things a little easier here. \[\large (\frac{ y }{ 1+x^2 })'=\frac{ y' (1+x^2)-2xy }{ (1+x^2)^2 }\]

OpenStudy (marcelie):

okay this where i got too and idk what to do next one sec

OpenStudy (marcelie):

\[\sec^2 (x-y) (1-\frac{ dy }{ dx }) = (1+x^2)\frac{ dy }{ dx }-2xy \]

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

From there it's just algebra to get dy/dx alone (i used y' just cos it's a fraction in a fraction otherwise. Your denominator is missing on the right @marcelie

OpenStudy (marcelie):

so then the right side would look like this \[\sec^2 (x-y) (1-\frac{ dy }{ dx }) = (1+x^2)\frac{ dy }{ dx }-2xy / (1+x^2)^2\]

OpenStudy (marcelie):

wait ill do the right side one sec

OpenStudy (marcelie):

\[\sec^2 (x-y) (1-\frac{ dy }{ dx }) = \sec^2(x-y) - \sec^2(x-y) \frac{ dy }{ dx }\]

OpenStudy (photon336):

I didn't see that yeah that's much less work

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

@marcelie what happened on the right side?

OpenStudy (photon336):

I see what you mean now @agent0smith had to re-arrange this to get \[\frac{ -2xy+(1+x^{2})y' }{ (1+x^{2})^{2} } => \frac{ (1+x^{2})y'-2xy }{ (1+x^{2})^{2} }\]

OpenStudy (marcelie):

wouldn't the right side look like that ? @agent0smith

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Oh nvm i see what you were doing earlier marcelie. You were simplifying the LEFT side, but it looked like you'd massively changed the right side

OpenStudy (marcelie):

yeh thats correct @Photon336 but should that fraction split ?

OpenStudy (photon336):

\[\frac{ (1+x^{2})y'-2xy }{ (1+x^{2})^{2} } = \sec^{2}(x-y)(1-y')\]

OpenStudy (photon336):

how do we go from here?

OpenStudy (marcelie):

multiply (x+x^2)^2 to left side and right side ?

OpenStudy (photon336):

yeah then we would have to find a way to get y' by itself

OpenStudy (photon336):

\[\sec^{2}(x-y)(1-y')*(1+x^{2})^{2} = (1+x^{2})y'-2xy\]

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Yeah i'd do that ^ then just distribute things, and get all the y' on the same side

OpenStudy (marcelie):

wait where did you get (1-y') ?

OpenStudy (photon336):

(x-y) => 1-y'

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

1-dy/dx from earlier

OpenStudy (photon336):

\[\sec^{2}(x-y)-y'(\sec^{2}(x-y))*(1+x^{2}) = (1+x^{2})-(1+x^{2})y'\]

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

y' is often more convenient to write than dy/dx

OpenStudy (marcelie):

okay so was there distribution ?

OpenStudy (photon336):

yeah I think distribution is what we can do to get y' by itself

OpenStudy (photon336):

\[\sec^{2}(x-y)-y'\sec^{2}(x-y)+(1+x^2)y' = (1+x^{2})\]

OpenStudy (marcelie):

hmm okay one sec

OpenStudy (photon336):

yeah show us what you get

OpenStudy (photon336):

what are you guys getting for the final answer?

OpenStudy (marcelie):

not sure ive been trying to solve it but i got stuck many times D:

OpenStudy (photon336):

my answer looks nothing like the one at the end.

OpenStudy (marcelie):

hmm

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Oh sorry I kinda checked out. I think all was correct here: (i ain't showin all work) \[\large \sec^{2}(x-y)(1-y')*(1+x^{2})^{2} = (1+x^{2})y'-2xy\] \[\large -y'(1+x^{2})^{2} \sec^{2}(x-y)-y'(1+x^{2})= -2xy -(1+x^{2})^{2} \sec^{2}(x-y)\] \[\large y'[(1+x^{2})^{2} \sec^{2}(x-y)+(1+x^{2})]= 2xy +(1+x^{2})^{2} \sec^{2}(x-y)\] (mult both sides by -1) \[\large y'= \frac{ 2xy +(1+x^{2})^{2} \sec^{2}(x-y) }{ (1+x^{2})^{2} \sec^{2}(x-y)+(1+x^{2})}\] lastly factor out a (1+x^2) in denom: \[\large y'= \frac{ 2xy +(1+x^{2})^{2} \sec^{2}(x-y) }{ (1+x^2)[(1+x^{2}) \sec^{2}(x-y)+1]}\]

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Which is equivalent to the answer key.

OpenStudy (marcelie):

okay the distribution part confusing me D:

OpenStudy (marcelie):

on the right side

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

on the right...? this is the left\[\large \sec^{2}(x-y)(1-y')*(1+x^{2})^{2} = (1+x^{2})y'-2xy\] change the order a lil bit \[\large \sec^{2}(x-y)(1+x^{2})^{2}(1-y') = (1+x^{2})y'-2xy\] distribute that big ugly thing \[\large \sec^{2}(x-y)(1+x^{2})^{2}-\sec^{2}(x-y)(1+x^{2})^{2}y' =\] then just moving terms around to get y' on the same side

OpenStudy (marcelie):

oh yes sorry lmao im kind of sleepy lool

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

You'll prob want to do it on paper yourself. Just be very careful to keep track of the large terms

OpenStudy (marcelie):

oh okay question for the bottom denominator where did the +1 come from ?

OpenStudy (marcelie):

oh wait nvm lol

OpenStudy (marcelie):

okay got it . ty <3 someone medal agent for me :)

OpenStudy (agent0smith):
