If x^m + y^n = 1, Prove that dy dx =- my nx - Vidyadip

Question

If $x^m + y^n = 1$, Prove that $\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=-\frac{\text{my}}{\text{nx}}$

✓

Answer

We have, $x^m + y^n = 1$
Taking log on both side,
$\log(\text{x}^\text{m}\text{y}^{\text{n}})=\log(1)$
Differentiating with respect to x,
$\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}(\text{m}\log\text{x})+\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}(\text{n}\log\text{y})=\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}\big\{\log(1)\big\}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{m}}{\text{n}}+\frac{\text{n}}{\text{y}}\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=0$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=-\frac{\text{m}}{\text{x}}\times\frac{\text{y}}{\text{n}}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=-\frac{\text{my}}{\text{nx}}$
