Consider the following.
7/x - 1/y = 6
(a) I solved part a for y' using implicit differentiation, it is y'= (7y²) / (x²)
(b) Solve the equation explicitly for y and differentiate to get y' in terms of x.
(c) Check the consistency of your solutions to part a and b by substituting the expression for y into your solution for part a

B and C are the only ones i'm having trouble with. I know how to do this in general, just that the fractions in this particular case are messing me up, if you could help me that would be much appreciated!

Answer :

Answer:

Solution/answer is in the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's check a for fun.

a)

[tex]\frac{7}{x}-\frac{1}{y}=6[/tex]

I will rewrite so I can use power rule and chain rule on the first two terms.

[tex]7x^{-1}-y^{-1}=6[/tex]

Now let's begin.

[tex]7(-1)x^{-1-1}-(-1)y^{-1-1}y'=0[/tex]

Let's simplify:

[tex]-7x^{-2}+y^{-2}y'=0[/tex]

Add [tex]7x^{-2}[/tex] on both sides:

[tex]y^{-2}y'=7x^{-2}[/tex]

Divide both sides by [tex]y^{-2}[/tex]:

[tex]y'=\frac{7x^{-2}}{y^{-2}}[/tex]

Using law of exponents we can rewrite this as:

[tex]y'=\frac{7y^2}{x^2}[/tex].

So a) does look good (Great job!).

b)

We need to solve for [tex]y[/tex] first since we want to do this explicitly. That is what that means by the way.

[tex]\frac{7}{x}-\frac{1}{y}=6[/tex]

Subtract [tex]\frac{7}{x}[/tex] on both sides:

[tex]-\frac{1}{y}=6-\frac{7}{x}[/tex]

Multiply both sides by [tex]-1[/tex]:

[tex]\frac{1}{y}=-6+\frac{7}{x}[/tex]

Multiply both sides by [tex]y[/tex]:

[tex]1=y(-6+\frac{7}{x})[/tex]

Divide both sides by [tex](-6+\frac{7}{x})[/tex]:

[tex]\frac{1}{-6+\frac{7}{x}}=y[/tex]

Symmetric property:

[tex]y=\frac{1}{-6+\frac{7}{x}}[/tex]

Multiply the right hand side be [tex]\frac{x}{x}[/tex]:

[tex]y=\frac{x}{-6x+7}[/tex] (the is the explicit equation since it is solved for [tex]y[/tex].

Now we are to differentiate this.

Let's use quotient rule [tex](\frac{f}{g})'=\frac{f'g-g'f}{g^2}[/tex]:

[tex]y'=\frac{(1)(-6x+7)-x(-6)}{(-6x+7)^2}[/tex]

[tex]y'=\frac{-6x+7+6x}{(-6x+7)^2}[/tex]

[tex]y'=\frac{7}{(-6x+7)^2}[/tex]

c) So we need to see if a) and b) are actually the same now.

For a) we go [tex]y'=\frac{7y^2}{x}[/tex] and we solve for [tex]y[/tex] in b) we go [tex]y=\frac{x}{-6x+7}[/tex].

I'm going to find [tex]y^2[/tex] so I can just replace

[tex]y=\frac{x}{-6x+7}[/tex]

Squaring both sides:

[tex]y^2=(\frac{x}{-6x+7})^2[/tex]

[tex]y^2=\frac{x^2}{(-6x+7)^2}[/tex]

I will leave it as this because we may not have to do further work such as expanding the bottom.

Let's plug this into our solution for a):

[tex]y'=\frac{7y^2}{x^2}[/tex]

[tex]y'=\frac{7(\frac{x^2}{(-6x+7)^2})}{x^2}[/tex]

Division by a number is the same as multiplication by the reciprocal of that number. So let's rewrite:

[tex]y'=\frac{7x^2}{x^2(-6x+7)^2}[/tex]

Now we can cancel the common factor [tex]x^2[/tex] from the top and bottom:

[tex]y'=\frac{7}{(-6x+7)^2}[/tex]

We see this is the same solution we got for b).

We have completed the objective for c).

Using differentiation, it is found that:

a)

The implicit derivative is:

[tex]y^{\prime} = \frac{7y^2}{x^2}[/tex]

b)

The explicit derivative is:

[tex]y^{\prime} = -\frac{7}{x^2}[/tex]

c)

Substituting into part a, we have that:

[tex]y^{\prime} = \frac{7}{x^2}\left[\frac{49}{x^2} - \frac{84}{x} + 36\right][/tex]

The expression given is:

[tex]\frac{7}{x} - \frac{1}{y} = 6[/tex]

Item a:

Applying implicit differentiation, we have that:

[tex]-\frac{7}{x^2}\frac{dx}{dx} + \frac{1}{y^2}\frac{dy}{dx} = 0[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{y^2}\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{7}{x^2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{7y^2}{x^2}[/tex]

Item b:

First, we solve the expression for y, then:

[tex]\frac{1}{y} = \frac{7}{x} - 6[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{y} = \frac{7 - 6x}{x}[/tex]

[tex]xy = 7 - 6x[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{7 - 6x}{x}[/tex]

Applying the quotient derivative rule:

[tex]y^{\prime} = \frac{x(7-6x)^{\prime} - x^{\prime}(7-6x)}{x^2}[/tex]

[tex]y^{\prime} = \frac{-6x -7 + 6x}{x^2}[/tex]

[tex]y^{\prime} = -\frac{7}{x^2}[/tex]

Item c:

We have that the expression for the derivative is is:

[tex]y = \frac{7 - 6x}{x}[/tex]

Substituting into part a, using [tex]y = \frac{7}{x} - 6[/tex]:

[tex]y^{\prime} = \frac{7y^2}{x^2}[/tex]

[tex]y^{\prime} = \frac{7\left[\frac{7}{x} - 6]^2}{x^2}[/tex]

[tex]y^{\prime} = \frac{7}{x^2}\left[\frac{49}{x^2} - \frac{84}{x} + 36\right][/tex]
