If xy + y² = 6, then the value of dy/dx at x= -1 is​

Hi there!

\large\boxed{\text{At (-1, -2), }\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{2}{5}}}

\large\boxed{\text{At (-1, 3), }\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{3}{5}}}

We can calculate dy/dx using implicit differentiation:

xy + y² = 6

Differentiate both sides. Remember to use the Product Rule for the "xy" term:

(1)y + x(dy/dx)  + 2y(dy/dx) = 0

Move y to the opposite side:

x(dy/dx) + 2y(dy/dx) = -y

Factor out dy/dx:

dy/dx(x + 2y) = -y

Divide both sides by x + 2y:

dy/dx = -y/x + 2y

We need both x and y to find dy/dx, so plug in the given value of x into the original equation:

-1(y) + y² = 6

-y + y² = 6

y² - y - 6 = 0

(y - 3)(y + 2) = 0

Thus, y = -2 and 3.

We can calculate dy/dx at each point:

At y = -2: dy/dx = -(-2) / -1+ 2(-2) = -2/5.

At y = 3: dy/dx = -(3) / -1 + 2(3) = -3/5.

Which expression is equivalent to (4x^3y^5) (3x^5y)^2 ?
Liono4ka [1.6K]
(3x^5y)^2=
3^2=9
(x^5)^2=x^10
y^2=y^2

(3x^5y)^2=9x^10y^2

9x^10y^2(4x^3y^5)=
9*4=36
x^10*x^3=x^13
y^2*y^5=y^7
9x^19y^2(4x^3y^5)= 36x^13y^7

Final answer: B
