Solution

xa .yb = `(x + y)^((a + b))`

Taking logarithm of both sides, we get

log(xa.yb) = log(x + y)a+b 

∴ log xa + log yb = (a + b) log (x + y)

∴ a log x + b log y = (a + b) log (x + y)

Differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get

`"a"*1/x + "b"*1/y*("d"y)/("d"x) = ("a" + "b")*1/(x + y)*"d"/("d"x)(x + y)`

∴ `"a"/x + "b"/y*("d"y)/("d"x) = ("a" + "b")/(x + y)(1 + ("d"y)/("d"x))`

∴ `"a"/x + "b"/y*("d"y)/("d"x) = ("a" + "b")/(x + y) + ("a" + "b")/(x + y) . ("d"y)/("d"x)`

∴ `"b"/y*("d"y)/("d"x) - ("a" + "b")/(x + y)*("d"y)/("d"x) = ("a" + "b")/(x + y) - "a"/x` 

∴ `("b"/y - ("a" + "b")/(x + y)) ("d"y)/("d"x) = ("a" + "b")/(x + y) - "a"/x`

∴ `[("b"x + "b"y - "a"y - "b"y)/(y(x + y))]("d"y)/("d"x) = ("a"x + "b"x - "a"x - "a"y)/(x(x + y))`

∴ `[("b"x - "a"y)/(y(x + y))]("d"y)/("d"x) = ("b"x - "a"y)/(x(x + y))`

∴ `("d"y)/("d"x) = ("b"x - "a"y)/(x(x + y)) xx (y(x + y))/("b"x - "a"y)`

∴ `("d"y)/("d"x) = y/x`

Find `("d"y)/("d"x)`, if y = x(x) + 20(x) 

Solution: Let y = x(x) + 20(x) 

Let u = `x^square` and v = `square^x`

∴ y = u + v

Diff. w.r.to x, we get

`("d"y)/("d"x) = square/("d"x) + "dv"/square`   .....(i)

Now, u = xx

Taking log on both sides, we get

log u = x × log x

Diff. w.r.to x,

`1/"u"*"du"/("d"x) = x xx 1/square + log x xx square`

∴ `"du"/("d"x)` = u(1 + log x)

∴ `"du"/("d"x) = x^x (1 +  square)`    .....(ii)

Now, v = 20x

Diff.w.r.to x, we get

`"dv"/("d"x") = 20^square*log(20)`     .....(iii)

Substituting equations (ii) and (iii) in equation (i), we get

`("d"y)/("d"x)` = xx(1 + log x) + 20x.log(20)
