Find `bb(dy/dx)` for the given function:

yx = xy

Sum

Solution

Given, yx = xy

Taking logarithm of both sides,

log yx = log xy

x log y = y log x  ...(i)

Differentiating (i) w.r.t. x,

`x d/dx log y + log y d/dx (x)= y d/dx log x + log x d/dx y`

`=> x xx 1/y dy/dx + log y xx 1 = y xx 1/x + log x dy/dx`

`=> x/y dy/dx + log y = y/x + log x dy/dx`

`=> x/y dy/dx - log x dy/dx = y /x - log y` 

`=> dy/dx (x/y - log x) = y /x - log y`   ...(ii)

On multiplying both sides of (ii) by xy, we get

`=> dy/dx (x^2 - xy log x) = y ^2 - xy log y`

`therefore dy/dx = (y ^2 - xy log y)/(x^2 - xy log x)`
