How to solve this is implicit differentiation dy/dx? #xsin(y) + cos (xy) = x^2#

1 Answer

#dy/dx = (2x-sin(y)+ysin(xy))/(xcos(y) - xsin(xy))#

Explanation:

Given: #xsin(y) + cos (xy) = x^2#

Differentiate all of the terms with respect to x:

#(d(xsin(y)))/dx + (d(cos (xy)))/dx = (d(x^2))/dx" [1]"#

For the first term, we must use the product rule,

#(d(gh))/dx = (dg)/dx(h)+(g)(dh)/dx#,

where #g = x#, #h=sin(y)#, #(dg)/dx = 1#, and #(dh)/dx = cos(y)dy/dx#:

#(d(xsin(y)))/dx = (1)sin(y)+(x)cos(y)dy/dx#

Substitute the above into equation [1]:

#sin(y)+(x)cos(y)dy/dx + (d(cos (xy)))/dx = (d(x^2))/dx" [1.1]"#

For the second term, we must use the chain rule:

#(d(cos (xy)))/dx = -sin(xy)(d(xy))/dx#

Then the product rule:

#(d(cos (xy)))/dx = -sin(xy)(y+xdy/dx)#

Substitute the above equation into equation [1.1]:

#sin(y)+(x)cos(y)dy/dx - sin(xy)(y+xdy/dx) = (d(x^2))/dx" [1.1]"#

Use the power rule for the last term:

#sin(y)+(x)cos(y)dy/dx - sin(xy)(y+xdy/dx) = 2x#

Move all of the terms that do not contain #dy/dx# to the right side:

#xcos(y)dy/dx - xsin(xy)dy/dx = 2x-sin(y)+ysin(xy)#

Factor out #dy/dx# from the left side:

#(xcos(y) - xsin(xy))dy/dx = 2x-sin(y)+ysin(xy)#

Divide both sides by the leading coefficient:

#dy/dx = (2x-sin(y)+ysin(xy))/(xcos(y) - xsin(xy))#
