Problem

Differentiate implicitly to find $\frac{d y}{d x}$. \[ y^{6}=x^{5} \] \[ \frac{d y}{d x}= \]

Solution

Step 1 :Given the equation \(y^{6}=x^{5}\), we can differentiate both sides with respect to \(x\).

Step 2 :Differentiating \(y^{6}\) with respect to \(x\) gives \(6y^{5} \frac{dy}{dx}\).

Step 3 :Differentiating \(x^{5}\) with respect to \(x\) gives \(5x^{4}\).

Step 4 :Setting these two derivatives equal to each other gives the equation \(6y^{5} \frac{dy}{dx} = 5x^{4}\).

Step 5 :Solving for \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) gives \(\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{5x^{4}}{6y^{5}}\).

Step 6 :Substituting \(y^{6}=x^{5}\) into the equation gives \(\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{5x^{4}}{6x^{5/6}}\).

Step 7 :Simplifying the equation gives \(\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{5}{6}x^{4-5/6}\).

Step 8 :Finally, simplifying the exponent gives \(\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{5}{6}x^{19/6}\).

Step 9 :So, the derivative of \(y\) with respect to \(x\) is \(\boxed{\frac{5}{6}x^{19/6}}\).
