If x y . y x = 16 , then the value of d y d x at ( 2 , 2 ) is
Options
- A- 1
- B0
- C1
- DNone of these
Correct answer
A. - 1
Step-by-step solution
Since, x y . y x = 16 ∴ log e x y + log e y x = log e 16 ⇒ y log e x + x log e y = 4 log e 2 Now, on differentiating both sides w.r.t. x , we get y x + log e x d y d x + x y d y d x + log e y . 1 = 0 ⇒ d y d x = - log e y + y x log e x + x y ∴ d y d x ( 2,2 ) = - ( log e 2 + 1 ) ( log e 2 + 1 ) = - 1
