Answer

So, the derivative of y with respect to x is 7x6y+7y6xx7+y7.

Steps

Step 1 :Given the equation x7y+y7x=9, we need to find dydx.

Step 2 :We can use the product rule for differentiation, which states that the derivative of a product of two functions is the derivative of the first function times the second function plus the first function times the derivative of the second function.

Step 3 :Applying the product rule to x7y, we get 7x6y+x7dydx.

Step 4 :Applying the product rule to y7x, we get 7y6x+y7.

Step 5 :So, the derivative of the given equation is 7x6y+x7dydx+7y6x+y7=0.

Step 6 :We can rearrange this equation to solve for dydx, which gives us dydx=7x6y+7y6xx7+y7.

Step 7 :So, the derivative of y with respect to x is 7x6y+7y6xx7+y7.
