Solution:
Given the equation: $y = \sec^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2x^2-1}\right)$.
Utilize the trigonometric identity for the reciprocal of the secant function: $\sec^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{u}\right) = \cos^{-1}(u)$ [Per the property of inverse trigonometric functions, where $|u| \geq 1$].
Applying this to the expression:
$y = \cos^{-1}(2x^2 - 1)$Given the domain constraint $0 < x < \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$, we choose a substitution that simplifies the expression $2x^2 - 1$.
Let $x = \cos \theta$. Then $\theta = \cos^{-1}x$.
Substituting into the expression:
$y = \cos^{-1}(2\cos^2\theta - 1)$Applying the double-angle formula for cosine: $\cos(2\theta) = 2\cos^2\theta - 1$ [By trigonometric identity]:
$y = \cos^{-1}(\cos 2\theta)$Since $0 < x < \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$, it follows that:
$0 < \cos \theta < \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$This implies $\frac{\pi}{4} < \theta < \frac{\pi}{2}$.
Multiplying by 2: $\frac{\pi}{2} < 2\theta < \pi$.
Since $2\theta \in (\frac{\pi}{2}, \pi)$, the expression $\cos^{-1}(\cos 2\theta)$ simplifies to $2\theta$ [By the property $\cos^{-1}(\cos \alpha) = \alpha$ for $\alpha \in [0, \pi]$].
Substituting $\theta = \cos^{-1}x$ back into the equation:
$y = 2\cos^{-1}x$Now, differentiate with respect to $x$:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx} [2\cos^{-1}x]$Applying the constant multiple rule and the derivative formula $\frac{d}{dx}(\cos^{-1}x) = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}$:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = 2 \cdot \left( -\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} \right)$The derivative is computed as follows:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{2}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}$Final Solution: \frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{2}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}
Solution:
The given equation is:
$ax + by^2 = \cos y$
To find $\frac{dy}{dx}$, we must perform implicit differentiation with respect to $x$ across the entire equation [Per the Chain Rule of Calculus].
Applying the operator $\frac{d}{dx}$ to both sides of the equation:
$\frac{d}{dx}(ax + by^2) = \frac{d}{dx}(\cos y)$
Distributing the derivative across the terms and factoring out constants:
$a \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(x) + b \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(y^2) = \frac{d}{dx}(\cos y)$
[By the Linearity Property of Differentiation]
Differentiate each term individually, keeping in mind that $y$ is a function of $x$ ($y=f(x)$):
Substituting these back into the equation:
$a + 2by \frac{dy}{dx} = -\sin y \frac{dy}{dx}$
Group all terms containing $\frac{dy}{dx}$ on one side of the equation:
$a = -\sin y \frac{dy}{dx} - 2by \frac{dy}{dx}$
$a = -\frac{dy}{dx} (\sin y + 2by)$
Divide both sides by the coefficient of $\frac{dy}{dx}$:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{a}{ -(\sin y + 2by)}$
$\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{a}{2by + \sin y}$
Final Solution: $\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{a}{2by + \sin y}$
Solution:
Given the expression $y = \sin^{-1} \left( \frac{2x}{1+x^2} \right)$, we recognize that the interior fraction resembles the double-angle identity for sine: $\sin(2\theta) = \frac{2\tan\theta}{1+\tan^2\theta}$.
To simplify the derivative, we perform the substitution $x = \tan\theta$, which implies $\theta = \tan^{-1}(x)$.
[Justification: Per trigonometric identity $\sin(2\theta) = \frac{2\tan\theta}{1+\tan^2\theta}$].
Substituting $x = \tan\theta$ into the equation:
$y = \sin^{-1} \left( \frac{2\tan\theta}{1+\tan^2\theta} \right)$[Justification: Since $\sin^{-1}(\sin \alpha) = \alpha$ for $\alpha \in [-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}]$].
Replacing $\theta$ with $\tan^{-1}(x)$:
$y = 2\tan^{-1}(x)$Now, we differentiate both sides with respect to $x$:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx} [2\tan^{-1}(x)]$[Justification: By the Constant Multiple Rule of differentiation].
Using the standard derivative formula for inverse trigonometric functions:
$\frac{d}{dx} (\tan^{-1} x) = \frac{1}{1+x^2}$[Justification: Differentiation of inverse tangent function].
| Derivative Step | Result |
|---|---|
| Substitution | $x = \tan\theta$ |
| Simplified Function | $y = 2\tan^{-1}(x)$ |
| Resulting Derivative | $\frac{2}{1+x^2}$ |
Final Solution: \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2}{1+x^2}
Solution:
Given the implicit function: $2x + 3y = \sin y$. To find $\frac{dy}{dx}$, we apply the derivative operator $\frac{d}{dx}$ to both sides of the equation with respect to $x$:
$\frac{d}{dx}(2x + 3y) = \frac{d}{dx}(\sin y)$
By the linearity of the derivative, we distribute the operator. Furthermore, we apply the Chain Rule [$\frac{d}{dx}f(g(x)) = f'(g(x)) \cdot g'(x)$] to the terms containing $y$:
$\frac{d}{dx}(2x) + \frac{d}{dx}(3y) = \frac{d}{dx}(\sin y)$
$2 \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(x) + 3 \cdot \frac{dy}{dx} = \cos y \cdot \frac{dy}{dx}$ [Per the differentiation rule $\frac{d}{dx}(x^n) = nx^{n-1}$ and the chain rule for trigonometric functions]
Substituting $\frac{d}{dx}(x) = 1$, the equation becomes:
$2 + 3\frac{dy}{dx} = \cos y \frac{dy}{dx}$
To solve for $\frac{dy}{dx}$, we group all terms containing $\frac{dy}{dx}$ on one side of the equation:
$2 = \cos y \frac{dy}{dx} - 3\frac{dy}{dx}$
$2 = \frac{dy}{dx}(\cos y - 3)$ [By distributive property of multiplication]
Divide both sides by the coefficient of $\frac{dy}{dx}$:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2}{\cos y - 3}$
Final Solution: $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2}{\cos y - 3}$
Solution:
Given the equation: $\sin^2 y + \cos(xy) = \kappa$, where $\kappa$ is a constant. We differentiate both sides with respect to $x$ using the chain rule and the sum rule [Per the Rule of Differentiation of Implicit Functions].
$\frac{d}{dx}(\sin^2 y) + \frac{d}{dx}(\cos(xy)) = \frac{d}{dx}(\kappa)$
For the first term $\frac{d}{dx}(\sin^2 y)$: Applying the power rule followed by the chain rule: $\frac{d}{dx}(\sin^2 y) = 2 \sin y \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(\sin y) = 2 \sin y \cdot \cos y \cdot \frac{dy}{dx}$ Using the double angle identity $\sin(2\theta) = 2\sin\theta\cos\theta$, we simplify: $= \sin(2y) \frac{dy}{dx}$
For the second term $\frac{d}{dx}(\cos(xy))$: Applying the chain rule and product rule: $\frac{d}{dx}(\cos(xy)) = -\sin(xy) \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(xy)$ Using the product rule for $\frac{d}{dx}(xy) = x \frac{dy}{dx} + y(1)$: $= -\sin(xy) \cdot (x \frac{dy}{dx} + y)$
For the constant term: $\frac{d}{dx}(\kappa) = 0$ [Per the Constant Rule of Differentiation]
Substituting the derivatives back into the original expression: $\sin(2y) \frac{dy}{dx} - \sin(xy)(x \frac{dy}{dx} + y) = 0$
Distributing $-\sin(xy)$: $\sin(2y) \frac{dy}{dx} - x \sin(xy) \frac{dy}{dx} - y \sin(xy) = 0$
Group all terms containing $\frac{dy}{dx}$ on one side: $\frac{dy}{dx} (\sin(2y) - x \sin(xy)) = y \sin(xy)$
Solving for $\frac{dy}{dx}$: $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{y \sin(xy)}{\sin(2y) - x \sin(xy)}$
Final Solution: \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{y \sin(xy)}{\sin(2y) - x \sin(xy)}
Solution:
The given implicit function is:
$\sin^2 x + \cos^2 y = 1$
To find $\frac{dy}{dx}$, we must apply the operator $\frac{d}{dx}$ to both sides of the equation. We utilize the Chain Rule, which states that for a composite function $f(g(x))$, $\frac{d}{dx}[f(g(x))] = f'(g(x)) \cdot g'(x)$ [Per the Chain Rule of Differentiation].
Differentiate both sides with respect to $x$:
$\frac{d}{dx}(\sin^2 x) + \frac{d}{dx}(\cos^2 y) = \frac{d}{dx}(1)$
Substitute these results back into the equation:
$2 \sin x \cos x - 2 \cos y \sin y \cdot \frac{dy}{dx} = 0$
Apply the double angle identity $\sin(2\theta) = 2 \sin \theta \cos \theta$ [Per Trigonometric Identities]:
$\sin(2x) - \sin(2y) \cdot \frac{dy}{dx} = 0$
Isolate the term containing $\frac{dy}{dx}$:
$\sin(2y) \cdot \frac{dy}{dx} = \sin(2x)$
Divide both sides by $\sin(2y)$:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\sin(2x)}{\sin(2y)}$
Final Solution: \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\sin(2x)}{\sin(2y)}
Solution:
The given implicit equation is:
$x^3 + x^2y + xy^2 + y^3 = 81$
To find $\frac{dy}{dx}$, we must apply the process of implicit differentiation with respect to $x$, treating $y$ as a function of $x$ [Per the Chain Rule: $\frac{d}{dx}(f(y)) = f'(y) \cdot \frac{dy}{dx}$].
Applying the derivative operator $\frac{d}{dx}$ to the entire equation:
$\frac{d}{dx}(x^3) + \frac{d}{dx}(x^2y) + \frac{d}{dx}(xy^2) + \frac{d}{dx}(y^3) = \frac{d}{dx}(81)$
Using the Power Rule ($\frac{d}{dx}x^n = nx^{n-1}$) and the Product Rule ($\frac{d}{dx}(uv) = u\frac{dv}{dx} + v\frac{du}{dx}$):
Substituting the derivatives back into the expression:
$3x^2 + x^2 \frac{dy}{dx} + 2xy + 2xy \frac{dy}{dx} + y^2 + 3y^2 \frac{dy}{dx} = 0$
Group terms containing $\frac{dy}{dx}$ on one side and move constant/x-y terms to the other:
$(x^2 + 2xy + 3y^2) \frac{dy}{dx} = -(3x^2 + 2xy + y^2)$
Divide by the coefficient of $\frac{dy}{dx}$:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{3x^2 + 2xy + y^2}{x^2 + 2xy + 3y^2}$
Final Solution: $\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{3x^2 + 2xy + y^2}{x^2 + 2xy + 3y^2}$
Solution:
Given the function $y = \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{1-x^2}{1+x^2}\right)$, we utilize the trigonometric identity for $\cos(2\theta)$ in terms of $\tan\theta$. Let $x = \tan\theta$, where $\theta = \tan^{-1}x$.
Since $0 < x < 1$, we have $0 < \tan\theta < 1$, implying $0 < \theta < \frac{\pi}{4}$ [Domain constraints of inverse trigonometric functions].
Substituting $x = \tan\theta$ into the argument of the function:
$\frac{1-x^2}{1+x^2} = \frac{1-\tan^2\theta}{1+\tan^2\theta}$
Using the identity $\cos(2\theta) = \frac{1-\tan^2\theta}{1+\tan^2\theta}$ [Trigonometric Double Angle Identity]:
The function becomes $y = \sin^{-1}(\cos 2\theta)$.
To evaluate $\sin^{-1}(\cos 2\theta)$, we convert $\cos(2\theta)$ to sine using the co-function identity $\cos(A) = \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{2} - A\right)$:
$y = \sin^{-1}\left[\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{2} - 2\theta\right)\right]$
Given $0 < \theta < \frac{\pi}{4}$, then $0 < 2\theta < \frac{\pi}{2}$. Thus, $-\frac{\pi}{2} < -2\theta < 0$, and consequently $0 < \frac{\pi}{2} - 2\theta < \frac{\pi}{2}$. This range falls within the principal value branch of $\sin^{-1}(x)$, which is $[-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}]$.
Therefore, $y = \frac{\pi}{2} - 2\theta$ [By the property $\sin^{-1}(\sin \alpha) = \alpha$ for $\alpha \in [-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}]$].
Substitute back $\theta = \tan^{-1}x$:
$y = \frac{\pi}{2} - 2\tan^{-1}x$
Differentiating both sides with respect to $x$:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) - 2\frac{d}{dx}(\tan^{-1}x)$
Since the derivative of a constant is $0$ and $\frac{d}{dx}(\tan^{-1}x) = \frac{1}{1+x^2}$ [Standard Derivative Formula]:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = 0 - 2\left(\frac{1}{1+x^2}\right)$
Final Solution: $\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{2}{1+x^2}$
Solution:
Given the function $y = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{2x}{1+x^2}\right)$, we observe the structure of the internal algebraic expression $\frac{2x}{1+x^2}$. This form suggests the trigonometric identity for $\sin(2\theta)$ when we substitute $x = \tan\theta$.
Let $x = \tan\theta$. Given $-1 < x < 1$, the corresponding range for $\theta$ is $-\frac{\pi}{4} < \theta < \frac{\pi}{4}$.
[By trigonometric substitution: $\sin(2\theta) = \frac{2\tan\theta}{1+\tan^2\theta}$]
Substitute $x = \tan\theta$ into the function:
$y = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{2\tan\theta}{1+\tan^2\theta}\right)$ $y = \cos^{-1}(\sin(2\theta))$To evaluate $\cos^{-1}(\sin(2\theta))$, we convert sine to cosine using the co-function identity $\sin(\alpha) = \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{2} - \alpha\right)$:
$y = \cos^{-1}\left(\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{2} - 2\theta\right)\right)$Since $-\frac{\pi}{4} < \theta < \frac{\pi}{4}$, then $-\frac{\pi}{2} < 2\theta < \frac{\pi}{2}$. Multiplying by $-1$, we get $-\frac{\pi}{2} < -2\theta < \frac{\pi}{2}$. Adding $\frac{\pi}{2}$, we obtain $0 < \frac{\pi}{2} - 2\theta < \pi$.
[Per the definition of the principal value branch of $\cos^{-1}(x)$, which is $[0, \pi]$, we can simplify the expression directly.]
$y = \frac{\pi}{2} - 2\theta$Since $x = \tan\theta$, it follows that $\theta = \tan^{-1}(x)$. Substituting this back into the equation for $y$:
$y = \frac{\pi}{2} - 2\tan^{-1}(x)$Now, differentiate with respect to $x$ using the linearity property of the derivative:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) - 2 \frac{d}{dx}\left(\tan^{-1}(x)\right)$[Per the Constant Rule, $\frac{d}{dx}(C) = 0$, and per the standard derivative rule, $\frac{d}{dx}(\tan^{-1}x) = \frac{1}{1+x^2}$]
$\frac{dy}{dx} = 0 - 2\left(\frac{1}{1+x^2}\right)$ $\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{2}{1+x^2}$Final Solution: $\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{2}{1+x^2}$
Solution:
Given the expression $y = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{1-x^2}{1+x^2}\right)$, we recognize the identity for $\cos(2\theta)$. We substitute $x = \tan\theta$, which implies $\theta = \tan^{-1}x$.
Since $0 < x < 1$, it follows that $0 < \tan\theta < 1$, which implies $0 < \theta < \frac{\pi}{4}$ [By domain restriction of the inverse tangent function].
Substitute $x = \tan\theta$ into the expression:
$\frac{1-x^2}{1+x^2} = \frac{1-\tan^2\theta}{1+\tan^2\theta} = \cos(2\theta)$ [Per the double-angle identity for cosine].
Thus, $y = \cos^{-1}(\cos(2\theta))$.
Since $0 < \theta < \frac{\pi}{4}$, then $0 < 2\theta < \frac{\pi}{2}$. Because $2\theta \in [0, \pi]$, we have $\cos^{-1}(\cos(2\theta)) = 2\theta$ [By definition of the principal value branch of $\cos^{-1}$].
Substituting $\theta = \tan^{-1}x$ back into the equation, we obtain:
$y = 2\tan^{-1}x$
Differentiating both sides with respect to $x$:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx} [2\tan^{-1}x]$
Applying the constant multiple rule and the standard derivative formula for inverse tangent:
$\frac{d}{dx} [\tan^{-1}x] = \frac{1}{1+x^2}$ [Standard derivative axiom].
$\frac{dy}{dx} = 2 \cdot \frac{1}{1+x^2} = \frac{2}{1+x^2}$
Final Solution: $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2}{1+x^2}$
Solution:
The given equation is an implicit function of the form $f(x, y) = c$, where $2x + 3y = \sin x$. To find the derivative $\frac{dy}{dx}$, we must differentiate both sides of the equation with respect to $x$ [Per the Sum Rule and Chain Rule of Calculus].
We apply the operator $\frac{d}{dx}$ to each term independently:
$$\frac{d}{dx}(2x) + \frac{d}{dx}(3y) = \frac{d}{dx}(\sin x)$$
Substituting the results from Step 3 into our equation:
$$2 + 3\frac{dy}{dx} = \cos x$$
Subtracting $2$ from both sides [Per the Subtraction Property of Equality]:
$$3\frac{dy}{dx} = \cos x - 2$$
Dividing by $3$ to isolate the derivative:
$$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\cos x - 2}{3}$$
Final Solution: $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\cos x - 2}{3}$
Solution:
Given the expression $y = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{3x - x^3}{1 - 3x^2}\right)$, we observe the internal structure of the argument. It mirrors the standard trigonometric identity for the triple angle of tangent. [By Trigonometric Identity: $\tan(3\theta) = \frac{3\tan\theta - \tan^3\theta}{1 - 3\tan^2\theta}$].
Let $x = \tan\theta$. Then $\theta = \tan^{-1}(x)$.
The given domain is $-\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} < x < \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$. Substituting $x = \tan\theta$: $-\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} < \tan\theta < \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$ $\tan\left(-\frac{\pi}{6}\right) < \tan\theta < \tan\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right)$ This implies $-\frac{\pi}{6} < \theta < \frac{\pi}{6}$. Multiplying by 3, we get: $-\frac{\pi}{2} < 3\theta < \frac{\pi}{2}$. [Justification: Since $-\frac{\pi}{2} < 3\theta < \frac{\pi}{2}$, the expression $3\theta$ lies within the principal branch of the $\tan^{-1}$ function].
Substitute $x = \tan\theta$ into the original equation:
$y = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{3\tan\theta - \tan^3\theta}{1 - 3\tan^2\theta}\right)$
[By triple angle identity]:
$y = \tan^{-1}(\tan 3\theta)$
Since $3\theta \in (-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2})$, we have $y = 3\theta$.
Substituting $\theta = \tan^{-1}(x)$ back into the equation:
$y = 3\tan^{-1}(x)$
Differentiating both sides with respect to $x$:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx} [3\tan^{-1}(x)]$
Using the constant multiple rule and the standard derivative of the inverse tangent function [$\frac{d}{dx}(\tan^{-1}x) = \frac{1}{1+x^2}$]:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = 3 \cdot \left(\frac{1}{1 + x^2}\right)$
Final Solution: $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{3}{1 + x^2}$
Solution:
To find $\frac{dy}{dx}$ for the implicit function $xy + y^2 = \tan x + y$, we differentiate both sides of the equation with respect to $x$ using the rules of differentiation [Per the Sum Rule and Chain Rule of Calculus]:
$\frac{d}{dx}(xy) + \frac{d}{dx}(y^2) = \frac{d}{dx}(\tan x) + \frac{d}{dx}(y)$
We apply the Product Rule, $\frac{d}{dx}(uv) = u\frac{dv}{dx} + v\frac{du}{dx}$, to the term $xy$, and the Chain Rule to $y^2$:
Substituting these into our differentiated equation:
$x\frac{dy}{dx} + y + 2y\frac{dy}{dx} = \sec^2 x + \frac{dy}{dx}$
Rearrange the terms to gather all components containing $\frac{dy}{dx}$ on the left-hand side of the equation:
$x\frac{dy}{dx} + 2y\frac{dy}{dx} - \frac{dy}{dx} = \sec^2 x - y$
Factor out $\frac{dy}{dx}$ from the left side:
$\frac{dy}{dx}(x + 2y - 1) = \sec^2 x - y$
Divide both sides by $(x + 2y - 1)$ to isolate the derivative [Assuming $x + 2y - 1 \neq 0$]:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\sec^2 x - y}{x + 2y - 1}$
Final Solution: $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\sec^2 x - y}{x + 2y - 1}$
Solution:
To simplify the expression $y = \sin^{-1}(2x\sqrt{1-x^2})$, we use the trigonometric substitution method. Let $x = \sin\theta$. Consequently, $\theta = \sin^{-1}x$. [By Trigonometric Identity: $\sin^2\theta + \cos^2\theta = 1$].
Given the domain $-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} < x < \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$, we have $-\frac{\pi}{4} < \theta < \frac{\pi}{4}$.
Substitute $x = \sin\theta$ into the function:
$y = \sin^{-1}(2\sin\theta \sqrt{1-\sin^2\theta})$Utilizing the double-angle formula $\sin(2\theta) = 2\sin\theta\cos\theta$ [By Double Angle Identity]:
$y = \sin^{-1}(\sin 2\theta)$Since $-\frac{\pi}{4} < \theta < \frac{\pi}{4}$, it follows that $-\frac{\pi}{2} < 2\theta < \frac{\pi}{2}$.
Because the range of $\sin^{-1}(x)$ is $[-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}]$, we can simplify $\sin^{-1}(\sin 2\theta) = 2\theta$. [By definition of inverse trigonometric functions].
$y = 2\theta = 2\sin^{-1}x$Now, differentiate $y$ with respect to $x$ using the standard derivative formula for inverse sine: $\frac{d}{dx}(\sin^{-1}x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}$. [By Derivative of Inverse Trigonometric Functions]:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx}(2\sin^{-1}x)$Final Solution: \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}
Solution:
To determine $\frac{dy}{dx}$ for the implicit function $x^2 + xy + y^2 = 100$, we apply the differentiation operator $\frac{d}{dx}$ to both sides of the equation with respect to $x$:
$\frac{d}{dx}(x^2 + xy + y^2) = \frac{d}{dx}(100)$
[By the Linearity Property of Differentiation: $\frac{d}{dx}(u + v + w) = \frac{du}{dx} + \frac{dv}{dx} + \frac{dw}{dx}$]
We differentiate each term individually:
Substituting the results from Step 2 into the differentiated equation:
$2x + \left( x\frac{dy}{dx} + y \right) + 2y\frac{dy}{dx} = 0$
Group all terms containing $\frac{dy}{dx}$ on one side and shift remaining terms to the opposite side:
$x\frac{dy}{dx} + 2y\frac{dy}{dx} = -2x - y$
Factor out $\frac{dy}{dx}$ from the left side:
$\frac{dy}{dx}(x + 2y) = -(2x + y)$
Divide both sides by the expression $(x + 2y)$ to solve for $\frac{dy}{dx}$:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{2x + y}{x + 2y}$
Final Solution: $\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{2x + y}{x + 2y}$
