Math Problem Statement
Solve this
Solution
To find given that , we can follow these steps:
-
Express in terms of : Since , we can take the natural logarithm of both sides: So, .
-
Differentiate both sides with respect to : Using the chain rule on the left-hand side and the known derivative of on the right-hand side, we get:
So, .
Let's check the options provided:
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
None of these options match . This suggests that there might be a typographical error in the problem statement or in the provided options, or it might require further simplification.
To double-check, we will solve this again using implicit differentiation on the original equation :
-
Differentiate both sides with respect to : The derivative of with respect to is 1, and the derivative of with respect to using the chain rule is .
So, we get:
-
Solve for : Since , we substitute with :
So, again.
The correct derivative should indeed be , which does not match any of the given options. Therefore, there might be an error in the provided choices. If this happens often, I would recommend double-checking with a teacher or an authoritative source.
