Implicit Differentiation Procedure

Mark
< Prev

Which of the following correctly describes the process of finding dydx\frac{dy}{dx} for the equation cos⁡(xy)=x+y\cos(xy) = x + y using implicit differentiation?

A

Differentiate both sides with respect to xx, Apply the chain rule to cos⁡(x∗y)\cos(x*y) yielding −sin⁡(x∗y)∗(x∗(dy/dx)+y)-\sin(x*y)*(x*(dy/dx) + y) using the product rule for x∗yx*y, Differentiate the right side to obtain 1+dy/dx1 + dy/dx, Collect all terms containing dy/dxdy/dx and solve for it

B

Differentiate both sides, but mistakenly treat x∗yx*y as separable without the product rule, then combine terms improperly, resulting in an incorrect ordering

C

Differentiate the right side first as 11, then differentiate cos⁡(x∗y)\cos(x*y) ignoring the negative sign, and finally set the derivatives equal

D

Apply the product rule on the right side instead of the left, differentiate cos⁡(x∗y)\cos(x*y) as if it were a constant, and then solve for dy/dxdy/dx
