If xylog⁡e(x+y)=1xy\log_e(x+y) = 1, then dydx=\dfrac{dy}{dx} =

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Differentiating implicitly, ylog⁡e(x+y)+xyx+y+[xlog⁡e(x+y)+xyx+y]dydx=0y\log_e(x+y)+\dfrac{xy}{x+y} + \left[x\log_e(x+y)+\dfrac{xy}{x+y}\right]\dfrac{dy}{dx} = 0.

Using log⁡e(x+y)=1xy\log_e(x+y) = \dfrac{1}{xy} from the given relation and multiplying through by (x+y)(x+y), the numerator becomes x+y+x2yx\dfrac{x+y+x^2y}{x} and the denominator x[y+(x+y)log⁡e(x+y)]x[y+(x+y)\log_e(x+y)].

Hence dydx=−(x+y+x2y)x2[y+(x+y)log⁡e(x+y)]\dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{-(x+y+x^2y)}{x^2[y+(x+y)\log_e(x+y)]}.
