In this case, the equation involves both xx and yy intermixed within trigonometric functions and on both sides of the equation: sin\u2061(x)+cos\u2061(y)=7x\u22122y\\sin(x) + \\cos(y) = 7x &#8211; 2y<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since we are interested in how yy changes with respect to xx, we apply <strong>implicit differentiation<\/strong>. The key idea is that when differentiating a term involving yy, we treat yy as a function of xx, so we must apply the <strong>chain rule<\/strong>. For example, the derivative of cos\u2061(y)\\cos(y) with respect to xx is \u2212sin\u2061(y)\u22c5dydx-\\sin(y) \\cdot \\frac{dy}{dx}, because we differentiate the outer function (cosine) and multiply by the derivative of the inner function yy with respect to xx.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After differentiating both sides, we collect all terms involving dydx\\frac{dy}{dx} on one side of the equation and factor it out. Finally, solving algebraically yields the derivative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The final expression: dydx=7\u2212cos\u2061(x)2\u2212sin\u2061(y)\\frac{dy}{dx} = \\frac{7 &#8211; \\cos(x)}{2 &#8211; \\sin(y)}<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>gives the <strong>rate of change of yy with respect to xx<\/strong> in terms of both xx and yy. This is often the result when using implicit differentiation\u2014because yy is defined implicitly, the derivative is also in terms of both variables.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Find dydx by implicit differentiation. sin(x) + cos(y) = 7x \u2212 2y The correct answer and explanation is: To find dydx\\frac{dy}{dx} by implicit differentiation for the equation: sin\u2061(x)+cos\u2061(y)=7x\u22122y\\sin(x) + \\cos(y) = 7x &#8211; 2y Step-by-Step Solution: Differentiate both sides of the equation implicitly with respect to xx.
