Answer:

y = 29/4

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

3/(y - 5) = 15/(y + 4)

To find the value of y

we have,

3/(y - 5) = 15/(y + 4)

3(y + 4) = 15(y - 5)

(y + 4) = 5(y - 5) [dividing both sides by 3]

y + 4 = 5y - 25

5y - 25 = y + 4

5y - y = 4 + 25

4y = 29

y = 29/4

Therefore the value of y = 29/4

How do you implicitly differentiate: sqrt(xy)=x^2y+1

Furkat [3]

Implicit expression refers to equation that are not strictly expressed in terms of y and x separately. In this case, the derivative of expression
sqrt(xy)=x^2y+1 is

sqrt x * 0.5 y ^-0.5 dy + sqrt y * 0.5 x ^-0.5 dx= x^2 dy + 2xy dx
dy (x^2 - 0.5 (x/y) ^0.5) = dx (2xy - 0.5 (y/x)^0.5)
dy/dx = (2xy - 0.5 (y/x)^0.5) / (x^2 - 0.5 (x/y) ^0.5)
