Options

A

B

y/x−x²−y²

C

tany/y−x

D

tanx/x−y²

Correct Answer :

y/x−x²−y²

Solution :

The correct answer is yx-x2-y2.

Let us find the derivative dydx of the implicit equation given by:
y=xtan(y)

Differentiating both sides with respect to x using the product rule on the right-hand side, we get:
dydx=ddx[x]tan(y)+xddx[tan(y)]

Applying the chain rule for the derivative of tan(y):
dydx=tan(y)+xsec2(y)dydx

Now, collect all terms containing dydx on the left side of the equation:
dydx-xsec2(y)dydx=tan(y)

Factor out dydx:
dydx(1-xsec2(y))=tan(y)

Solve for dydx:
dydx=tan(y)1-xsec2(y)

From the original equation y=xtan(y), we can write:
tan(y)=yx

Using the trigonometric identity sec2(y)=1+tan2(y), we substitute this expression in:
sec2(y)=1+yx2=1+y2x2=x2+y2x2

Now substitute these values back into the expression for dydx:
dydx=yx1-xx2+y2x2

Simplify the denominator:
1-x2+y2x=x-(x2+y2)x=x-x2-y2x

Now substitute this back to obtain the final simplified derivative:
dydx=yxx-x2-y2x=yx-x2-y2
