Question
If $x^{16}y^9 = (x + y)^{17}$, prove that $\text{x}\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=2\text{y}$
✓
Answer
Here,$x^{16}y^9 = (x + y)^{20}$
Taking log on both the siede,
$\log(\text{x}^{16}\times\text{y}^{19})=\log(\text{x}^2+\text{y})^{17}$
$\big[\text{since}, \log(\text{AB})=\log\text{A}+\log\text{B},\log\text{a}^\text{b}=\text{b}\log\text{a}\big]$
$16\log\text{x}+9\log\text{y}=17\log(\text{x}^2+\text{y})$
Differentiating it with respect to x using chain rule
$16\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}(\log\text{x})+9\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}(\log\text{y})=17\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}\log(\text{x}^2+\text{y})$
$\frac{16}{\text{x}}+\frac{9}{\text{y}}\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=17\frac{1}{(\text{x}^2+\text{y})}\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}(\text{x}^2+\text{y})$
$\frac{16}{\text{x}}+\frac{9}{\text{y}}\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{17}{\text{x}^2+\text{y}}\Big[2\text{x}+\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}\Big]$
$\frac{9}{\text{y}}\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}-\frac{17}{(\text{x}^2+\text{y})}\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\Big(\frac{34\text{x}}{\text{x}^2+\text{y}}\Big)-\frac{16}{\text{x}}$
$\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}\Big[\frac{9}{\text{y}}-\frac{17}{(\text{x}^2+\text{y})}\Big]=\frac{34\text{x}^2-16\text{x}^2-16\text{y}}{\text{x}(\text{x}^2+\text{y})}$
$\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}\Big[\frac{9\text{x}^2+9\text{y}-17\text{y}}{\text{y}(\text{x}^2+\text{y})}\Big]=\frac{18\text{x}^2-16\text{y}}{\text{x}(\text{x}^2+\text{y})}$
$\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{\text{y}}{\text{x}}\Big(\frac{2(9\text{x}^2-8\text{y})}{9\text{x}^2-8\text{y}}\Big)$
$\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{2\text{y}}{\text{x}}$
$\text{x}\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=2\text{y}$
