Step 1 :We are given the equation \(\sqrt{x} + \sqrt{y} = 11\) and the value of y at x=4, which is 81.
Step 2 :We are asked to find the derivative of y with respect to x, denoted as \(y'(x)\) or \(\frac{dy}{dx}\).
Step 3 :Since y is not explicitly defined as a function of x, we need to use implicit differentiation.
Step 4 :Differentiating both sides of the equation with respect to x, we get \(\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}} + \frac{1}{2\sqrt{y}} \cdot y'(x) = 0\).
Step 5 :Solving this equation for \(y'(x)\), we get \(y'(x) = -\frac{\sqrt{y}}{\sqrt{x}}\).
Step 6 :Substituting the given values x=4 and y=81 into this equation, we find that \(y'(4) = -\frac{9}{2}\).
Step 7 :Final Answer: \(\boxed{-\frac{9}{2}}\)
