Math Problem Statement

Use implicit differentiation to find dy/dx, where 5x^4 + y^3 + e^(xy) = 0.

Solution

The problem asks to find dydx\frac{dy}{dx} using implicit differentiation for the equation:

5x4+y3+exy=05x^4 + y^3 + e^{xy} = 0

Step-by-Step Solution:

  1. Differentiate each term with respect to xx, remembering that yy is a function of xx, so when differentiating yy, we apply the chain rule and multiply by dydx\frac{dy}{dx}.

ddx(5x4)+ddx(y3)+ddx(exy)=0\frac{d}{dx}\left(5x^4\right) + \frac{d}{dx}\left(y^3\right) + \frac{d}{dx}\left(e^{xy}\right) = 0

  1. Differentiate each term:

    • ddx(5x4)=20x3\frac{d}{dx}(5x^4) = 20x^3
    • ddx(y3)=3y2dydx\frac{d}{dx}(y^3) = 3y^2 \cdot \frac{dy}{dx}
    • For exye^{xy}, we use the product rule: ddx(exy)=exy(ddx(xy))\frac{d}{dx}(e^{xy}) = e^{xy} \cdot \left(\frac{d}{dx}(xy)\right) Using the product rule on xyxy: ddx(xy)=y+xdydx\frac{d}{dx}(xy) = y + x \cdot \frac{dy}{dx} So, ddx(exy)=exy(y+xdydx)\frac{d}{dx}(e^{xy}) = e^{xy} \cdot \left(y + x \cdot \frac{dy}{dx}\right)
  2. Write the full differentiated equation: 20x3+3y2dydx+exy(y+xdydx)=020x^3 + 3y^2 \cdot \frac{dy}{dx} + e^{xy} \cdot \left(y + x \cdot \frac{dy}{dx}\right) = 0

  3. Isolate dydx\frac{dy}{dx}: Collect the terms involving dydx\frac{dy}{dx} on one side: 3y2dydx+exyxdydx=20x3exyy3y^2 \cdot \frac{dy}{dx} + e^{xy} \cdot x \cdot \frac{dy}{dx} = -20x^3 - e^{xy} \cdot y

  4. Factor out dydx\frac{dy}{dx}: dydx(3y2+exyx)=20x3exyy\frac{dy}{dx} \left( 3y^2 + e^{xy} \cdot x \right) = -20x^3 - e^{xy} \cdot y

  5. Solve for dydx\frac{dy}{dx}: dydx=20x3exyy3y2+exyx\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{-20x^3 - e^{xy} \cdot y}{3y^2 + e^{xy} \cdot x}

Thus, the solution for dydx\frac{dy}{dx} is:

dydx=20x3exyy3y2+exyx\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{-20x^3 - e^{xy} \cdot y}{3y^2 + e^{xy} \cdot x}
