If x1+y+y1+x=0,x>−1x\sqrt{1+y}+y\sqrt{1+x}=0, x>-1 and x≠yx\neq y, then (1+x)2dydx(1+x)^2\frac{dy}{dx} is equal to

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Rearranging and squaring gives x2(1+y)=y2(1+x)x^2(1+y)=y^2(1+x), i.e. (x−y)(x+y+xy)=0(x-y)(x+y+xy)=0. Since x≠yx\neq y, x+y+xy=0x+y+xy=0, so y=−x1+xy=\frac{-x}{1+x}. Then dydx=−1(1+x)2\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{-1}{(1+x)^2}, hence (1+x)2dydx=−1(1+x)^2\frac{dy}{dx}=-1.
