Use this equation to find dy/dx. 5y cos(x) = x2 + y2
Solution:
Given 5y cos(x) = x2 + y2
It is an implicit function which means we cannot write y in terms of x
Implicit differentiation means differentiating w.r.t one variable keeping the other constant.
5y(-sinx) + 5cosxdy/dx = 2x + 2ydy/dx
5cosxdy/dx - 2ydy/dx = 2x + 5ysinx
(5cosx - 2y)dy/dx = 2x + 5ysinx
dy/dx = (2x + 5ysinx) / (5cosx - 2y)
Use this equation to find dy/dx. 5y cos(x) = x2 + y2
Summary:
dy/dx {5y cos(x) = x2 + y2} = (2x + 5ysinx) / (5cosx - 2y)
