Find dy/dx xe^y=ysin(x)

The problem presents an equation involving both x and y variables, specifically xe^y = ysin(x), and asks to find the derivative of y with respect to x, denoted as dy/dx. This requires applying differentiation techniques suitable for equations where the variables are entangled in both sides of the equation, likely involving implicit differentiation because the equation is not explicitly solved for y.

$x e^{y} = y sin \left(\right. x \left.\right)$

Solution:

Step 1:

Take the derivative of each side with respect to $x$: $\frac{d}{dx}(xe^y) = \frac{d}{dx}(y\sin(x))$.

Step 2:

Apply the derivative to the left-hand side.

Step 2.1:

Invoke the Product Rule: $\frac{d}{dx}(uv) = u\frac{dv}{dx} + v\frac{du}{dx}$, where $u = x$ and $v = e^y$. This gives $x\frac{d}{dx}(e^y) + e^y\frac{d}{dx}(x)$.

Step 2.2:

Apply the Chain Rule: $\frac{d}{dx}f(g(x)) = f'(g(x))g'(x)$, where $f(u) = e^u$ and $g(x) = y$.

Step 2.2.1:

Set $u = y$ to prepare for the Chain Rule: $x(\frac{d}{du}(e^u)\frac{dx}{du}) + e^y\frac{d}{dx}(x)$.

Step 2.2.2:

Apply the Exponential Rule: $\frac{d}{du}(a^u) = a^u\ln(a)$, where $a = e$. This results in $x(e^u\frac{dx}{du}) + e^y\frac{d}{dx}(x)$.

Step 2.2.3:

Replace $u$ with $y$: $x(e^y\frac{dx}{du}) + e^y\frac{d}{dx}(x)$.

Step 2.3:

Express $\frac{dx}{du}$ as $\frac{dy}{dx}$: $xe^y\frac{dy}{dx} + e^y\frac{d}{dx}(x)$.

Step 2.4:

Apply the Power Rule: $\frac{d}{dx}(x^n) = nx^{n-1}$, where $n = 1$: $xe^y\frac{dy}{dx} + e^y\cdot 1$.

Step 2.5:

Multiply $e^y$ by $1$: $xe^y\frac{dy}{dx} + e^y$.

Step 3:

Differentiate the right-hand side.

Step 3.1:

Use the Product Rule: $\frac{d}{dx}(uv) = u\frac{dv}{dx} + v\frac{du}{dx}$, where $u = y$ and $v = \sin(x)$. This gives $y\frac{d}{dx}(\sin(x)) + \sin(x)\frac{d}{dx}(y)$.

Step 3.2:

The derivative of $\sin(x)$ with respect to $x$ is $\cos(x)$: $y\cos(x) + \sin(x)\frac{d}{dx}(y)$.

Step 3.3:

Express $\frac{d}{dx}(y)$ as $\frac{dy}{dx}$: $y\cos(x) + \sin(x)\frac{dy}{dx}$.

Step 4:

Combine the derivatives from both sides: $xe^y\frac{dy}{dx} + e^y = y\cos(x) + \sin(x)\frac{dy}{dx}$.

Step 5:

Isolate $\frac{dy}{dx}$.

Step 5.1:

Simplify the left-hand side.

Step 5.1.1:

Rearrange the terms: $xye^y + e^y = y\cos(x) + \sin(x)y$.

Step 5.2:

Simplify the right-hand side.

Step 5.2.1:

Rearrange the terms: $xye^y + e^y = y\cos(x) + y\sin(x)$.

Step 5.3:

Subtract $y\sin(x)$ from both sides: $xye^y + e^y - y\sin(x) = y\cos(x)$.

Step 5.4:

Subtract $e^y$ from both sides: $xye^y - y\sin(x) = y\cos(x) - e^y$.

Step 5.5:

Factor out $y$ from the left-hand side.

Step 5.5.1:

Factor $y$ from $xye^y$: $y(xe^y) - y\sin(x) = y\cos(x) - e^y$.

Step 5.5.2:

Factor $y$ from $-y\sin(x)$: $y(xe^y) - y\sin(x) = y\cos(x) - e^y$.

Step 5.5.3:

Factor $y$ from the entire expression: $y(xe^y - \sin(x)) = y\cos(x) - e^y$.

Step 5.6:

Rewrite $-y\sin(x)$ as $-y\sin(x)$: $y(xe^y - \sin(x)) = y\cos(x) - e^y$.

Step 5.7:

Divide by $xe^y - \sin(x)$ and simplify.

Step 5.7.1:

Divide each term: $\frac{y(xe^y - \sin(x))}{xe^y - \sin(x)} = \frac{y\cos(x)}{xe^y - \sin(x)} - \frac{e^y}{xe^y - \sin(x)}$.

Step 5.7.2:

Simplify the left side by canceling out common factors.

Step 5.7.2.1:

Cancel the common factor: $\frac{y}{1} = \frac{y\cos(x)}{xe^y - \sin(x)} - \frac{e^y}{xe^y - \sin(x)}$.

Step 5.7.3:

Simplify the right side by combining terms over a common denominator: $y = \frac{y\cos(x) - e^y}{xe^y - \sin(x)}$.

Step 6:

Replace $y$ with $\frac{dy}{dx}$: $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{y\cos(x) - e^y}{xe^y - \sin(x)}$.

Knowledge Notes:

  1. Product Rule: Used when differentiating a product of two functions, $\frac{d}{dx}(uv) = u\frac{dv}{dx} + v\frac{du}{dx}$.

  2. Chain Rule: Used when differentiating a composite function, $\frac{d}{dx}f(g(x)) = f'(g(x))g'(x)$.

  3. Exponential Rule: When differentiating an exponential function, $\frac{d}{dx}(a^x) = a^x\ln(a)$.

  4. Power Rule: Used when differentiating a power of $x$, $\frac{d}{dx}(x^n) = nx^{n-1}$.

  5. Simplifying Expressions: Involves factoring, canceling common factors, and combining terms over a common denominator to simplify the expression.

  6. Implicit Differentiation: Used when a function cannot be explicitly solved for one variable in terms of another, which is the case in this problem where $y$ is a function of $x$ but is not isolated on one side of the equation.
