If [4] y =x+ x^2+4 , then what is x^2+4 , dy dx equal to ?
Options
- Ay 4
- By
- C2y
- D4y
Correct answer
D. 4y
Step-by-step solution
Given y^ 1/4 = x + x^2+4 Differentiating both sides with respect to x : 1 4 y^ -3/4 dy dx = 1 + 1 2 x^2+4 (2x) 1 4 y^ -3/4 dy dx = 1 + x x^2+4 1 4 y^ -3/4 dy dx = x^2+4 + x x^2+4 Substituting x + x^2+4 = y^ 1/4 : 1 4 y^ -3/4 dy dx = y^ 1/4 x^2+4 x^2+4 dy dx = 4 y^ 1/4 y^ 3/4 x^2+4 dy dx = 4y Answer: 4y
