Differentiation Question 9

Question: If $ x^{y}.y^{x}=1 $ , then $ \frac{dy}{dx} $ =

Options:

A) $ \frac{y(y+x\log y)}{x(y\log x+x)} $

B) $ \frac{y(x+y\log x)}{x(y+x\log y)} $

C) $ -\frac{y(y+x\log y)}{x(x+y\log x)} $

D) None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ y\log x+x\log y=0 $ ;
$ \therefore $ $ \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{\partial f/\partial x}{\partial f/\partial y} $ .
