FIND DxY BY IMPLICIT DIFFERENTIATION.

XY + COS(XY) = -4


MY WORK SO FAR.

D/DX (XY+COS(XY)) = D/DX (-4)

D/DX(XY) + D/DX(COS(XY)) = D/DX (-4)

D/DX (-4) = 0

D/DX (XY) = X D/DX(Y) + Y D/DX(X) = X DY/DX + Y

D/DX (COS(XY)) = ?

I AM STUCK HERE CAN SOME PLEASE HELP ME FINISH THIS PROBLEM.

D/DX (COS(XY)) = (Using chain rule) ? = -Sin (XY) * D/DX (XY) .... continue....

sorry about the caps. thanx for the hint will report my findings in 15 minutes or so.

D/DX (-4) = 0

D/DX (XY) = X D/DX(Y) + Y D/DX(X) = X DY/DX + Y

D/DX (COS(XY)) = -sin(xy)*d/dx(xy) = -ysin(xy)

i then plugged everything back in and received the following answer.

xdy/dx + y - ysin(xy) = 0

x dy/dx = -y + ysin(xy)

dy/dx = (-y(1 - sin(xy)))/x in its simplified form.

does this answer the question of finding DxY by implicit differentiation?

D/DX (COS(XY)) = -sin(xy)*d/dx(xy) = -ysin(xy) <<<< That's not correct = - sin(xy) * [x * dy/dx + y]

xdy/dx + y - ysin(xy) = 0

x dy/dx = -y + ysin(xy)

I was doing this whole problem wrong i think, i redid it and have the following answer which i think is much better tha my previous work

the problem once again

Find DxY by implicit differentiation

xy + cos(xy) = -4

my work

xDxY + y - sin(xy)*(xDxY + y) = 0

xDxY+ y -xsin(xy)DxY - ysin(xy) = 0

xDxY - xsin(xy)DxY = -y + ysin(xy)

DxY = (-y + ysin(xy))/(x - xsin(xy)) = (-y(1-sin(xy))/(x(1-sin(xy)) = -y/x

So by implicit differentiation xy + cos(xy) = -4, DxY = -y/x.


Correct?

xDxY+ y -xsin(xy)DxY - ysin(xy) = 0

xDxY - xsin(xy)DxY = -y + ysin(xy)

DxY = (-y + ysin(xy))/(x - xsin(xy)) = (-y(1-sin(xy))/(x(1-sin(xy)) = -y/x

So by implicit differentiation xy + cos(xy) = -4, DxY = -y/x.


Correct?

Another way

Let

? = xy

then

d/d? [? + cos(?)] * d?/dx = 0

[1 - sin(?)] * [y + x*y'] = 0

when (1- sin?) <> 0, we have

y + xy' = 0

y' = -y/x
 
thanx Subhotosh Khan. its great that this site is here, as i have said before. peace bro.
