Find dy dx in the following cases: xy = c2 - Vidyadip

Question

Find $\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}$ in the following cases:
xy = c²

✓

Answer

We have, xy = c²
Differentiating with respect to x, we get
$\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}(\text{xy})=\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}(\text{c}^2)$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}+\text{y}\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}(\text{x})=0$
[Using product rule]
$\Rightarrow\text{x}\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}+\text{y}=0$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=-\text{y}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=-\frac{\text{y}}{\text{x}}$
