Answer

So, the first equation matches with option D and the third equation matches with option B.

Steps

Step 1 :Differentiate both sides of the first equation 7xcosy+2sin2y=4siny with respect to x using the chain rule and the product rule.

Step 2 :The derivative of 7xcosy with respect to x is 7cosy7xsinyy.

Step 3 :The derivative of 2sin2y with respect to x is 4cos2yy.

Step 4 :The derivative of 4siny with respect to x is 4cosyy.

Step 5 :Setting these equal gives us 7cosy7xsinyy+4cos2yy=4cosyy.

Step 6 :Solving for y gives us y=7cosy7xsiny+4cos2y4cosy, which matches with option D.

Step 7 :Differentiate both sides of the third equation 7xsiny+2sin2y=4cosy with respect to x using the chain rule and the product rule.

Step 8 :The derivative of 7xsiny with respect to x is 7siny+7xcosyy.

Step 9 :The derivative of 2sin2y with respect to x is 4cos2yy.

Step 10 :The derivative of 4cosy with respect to x is 4sinyy.

Step 11 :Setting these equal gives us 7siny+7xcosyy+4cos2yy=4sinyy.

Step 12 :Solving for y gives us y=7siny7xcosy4cos2y+4siny, which matches with option B.

Step 13 :So, the first equation matches with option D and the third equation matches with option B.
