ANSWER

Average Rate of Change

$= \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}$

EXPLANATION

To find the average rate of change of y=f(x) from x=a to x=b means finding the slope of the secant line joining the points

(a,f(a)) and (b,f(b))

The slope of the secant line joining these points is

$= \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}$

This gives the average rate of change of the function.

Find gradient xe^y + 4 ln y = x² at (1, 1)

cricket20 [7]

$xe^y+4\ln y=x^2$

Differentiate both sides with respect to x, assuming y = y(x).

$\dfrac{\mathrm d(xe^y+4\ln y)}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{\mathrm d(x^2)}{\mathrm dx}$

$\dfrac{\mathrm d(xe^y)}{\mathrm dx}+\dfrac{\mathrm d(4\ln y)}{\mathrm dx}=2x$

$\dfrac{\mathrm d(x)}{\mathrm dx}e^y+x\dfrac{\mathrm d(e^y)}{\mathrm dx}+\dfrac4y\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=2x$

$e^y+xe^y\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}+\dfrac4y\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=2x$

Solve for dy/dx :

$e^y+\left(xe^y+\dfrac4y\right)\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=2x$

$\left(xe^y+\dfrac4y\right)\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=2x-e^y$

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{2x-e^y}{xe^y+\frac4y}$

If y ≠ 0, we can write

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{2xy-ye^y}{xye^y+4}$

At the point (1, 1), the derivative is

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}\bigg|_{x=1,y=1}=\boxed{\dfrac{2-e}{e+4}}$
