Math Problem Statement

x^2(x + y) = y^2(4x − y) find dy/dx by implicit differentiation

Solution

To find dydx\frac{dy}{dx} using implicit differentiation for the equation:

x2(x+y)=y2(4xy)x^2(x + y) = y^2(4x - y)

we will differentiate both sides of the equation with respect to xx.

Step 1: Differentiate Both Sides

The equation is:

x2(x+y)=y2(4xy)x^2(x + y) = y^2(4x - y)

Differentiating both sides with respect to xx:

Left Side

For the left side, we have x2(x+y)x^2(x + y). We can apply the product rule here.

ddx(x2(x+y))=ddx(x2)(x+y)+x2ddx(x+y)\frac{d}{dx} \left( x^2(x + y) \right) = \frac{d}{dx}(x^2) \cdot (x + y) + x^2 \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(x + y)

  1. ddx(x2)=2x\frac{d}{dx}(x^2) = 2x, so ( 2x(x + y
