The length of a rectangle is 6 centimeters and its area is (6x + 18)square centimeters. Write an expression for the width.

1 answer:

Area=legnth times width
legnth=6
area=6x+18
subsitute
6x+18=6 times width

undistribute 6 from each term on left side
6(x+3)=6 times width
divide both sides by 6
x+3=width

Find dy/dx by implicit differentiation for ysin(y) = xcos(x)

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{\cos(x)-x\sin(x)}{\sin(y)+y\cos(y)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have:

$y\sin(y)=x\cos(x)$

And we want to find dy/dx.

So, let's take the derivative of both sides with respect to x:

$\frac{d}{dx}[y\sin(y)]=\frac{d}{dx}[x\cos(x)]$

Let's do each side individually.

Left Side:

We have:

$\frac{d}{dx}[y\sin(y)]$

We can use the product rule:

$(uv)'=u'v+uv'$

So, our derivative is:

$=\frac{d}{dx}[y]\sin(y)+y\frac{d}{dx}[\sin(y)]$

We must implicitly differentiate for y. This gives us:

$=\frac{dy}{dx}\sin(y)+y\frac{d}{dx}[\sin(y)]$

For the sin(y), we need to use the chain rule:

$u(v(x))'=u'(v(x))\cdot v'(x)$

Our u(x) is sin(x) and our v(x) is y. So, u'(x) is cos(x) and v'(x) is dy/dx.

So, our derivative is:

$=\frac{dy}{dx}\sin(y)+y(\cos(y)\cdot\frac{dy}{dx}})$

Simplify:

$=\frac{dy}{dx}\sin(y)+y\cos(y)\cdot\frac{dy}{dx}}$

And we are done for the right.

Right Side:

We have:

$\frac{d}{dx}[x\cos(x)]$

This will be significantly easier since it's just x like normal.

Again, let's use the product rule:

$=\frac{d}{dx}[x]\cos(x)+x\frac{d}{dx}[\cos(x)]$

Differentiate:

$=\cos(x)-x\sin(x)$

So, our entire equation is:

$=\frac{dy}{dx}\sin(y)+y\cos(y)\cdot\frac{dy}{dx}}=\cos(x)-x\sin(x)$

To find our derivative, we need to solve for dy/dx. So, let's factor out a dy/dx from the left. This yields:

$\frac{dy}{dx}(\sin(y)+y\cos(y))=\cos(x)-x\sin(x)$

Finally, divide everything by the expression inside the parentheses to obtain our derivative:

$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{\cos(x)-x\sin(x)}{\sin(y)+y\cos(y)}$

And we're done!
