Question

Fill in the Blank

If 0 = log(xy) + a, then `"dy"/"dx" =  (-"y")/square`

Fill in the Blanks

Solution

If 0 = log(xy) + a, then `"dy"/"dx" =  (-"y")/"x"`

Explanation:

0 = log(xy) + a

∴ log(xy) = - a

∴ log x + log y = - a

Differentiating both sides w.r.t.x, we get

`1/"x" + 1/"y" "dy"/"dx" = 0`

∴ `1/"y" * "dy"/"dx" = - 1/"x"`

∴ `"dy"/"dx" = (-"y")/"x"`
