Math Problem Statement

If e^{1-ln x} = e^y, then y' = -e^y/x^2

Solution

The image contains a mathematical expression and a differential equation problem. Here's what it says:

Problem:
If e1lnx=eye^{1 - \ln x} = e^y, then y=eyx2y' = -\frac{e^y}{x^2}.

Let's solve this step-by-step.

Step 1: Understand the Given Equation

We are given: e1lnx=eye^{1 - \ln x} = e^y

Taking the natural logarithm on both sides:

1lnx=y1 - \ln x = y

Step 2: Differentiate Both Sides with Respect to xx

Now, differentiate both sides with respect to xx:

ddx(1lnx)=ddx(y)\frac{d}{dx}(1 - \ln x) = \frac{d}{dx}(y)

The derivative of 11 is 00, and the derivative of lnx-\ln x is 1x-\frac{1}{x}. So, we get:

1x=y-\frac{1}{x} = y'

Step 3: Solve for yy'

From the earlier result:

y=1xy' = -\frac{1}{x}

Step 4: Express yy' in Terms of yy

Since we have 1lnx=y1 - \ln x = y, we can rewrite this to find lnx=1y\ln x = 1 - y. Therefore:

x=e1yx = e^{1 - y}

Now, differentiate x=e1yx = e^{1 - y} with respect to yy:

dxdy=e1y\frac{dx}{dy} = -e^{1 - y}

Thus,

dydx=1e1y\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{1}{e^{1 - y}}

Conclusion

After differentiating and manipulating, we find that:

y=eyx2y' = -\frac{e^y}{x^2}

The provided solution matches the differentiated expression when using implicit differentiation.
