13-26 Implicit differentiation Carry out the following steps.
a. Use implicit differentiation to find dy/dx.
sin y = 5x⁴−5; (1, π)

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Start by differentiating both sides of the equation with respect to x. The equation is \( \sin y = 5x^4 - 5 \).
For the left side, differentiate \( \sin y \) with respect to y, which gives \( \cos y \), and then multiply by \( \frac{dy}{dx} \) due to the chain rule. This results in \( \cos y \cdot \frac{dy}{dx} \).
For the right side, differentiate \( 5x^4 - 5 \) with respect to x. The derivative of \( 5x^4 \) is \( 20x^3 \), and the derivative of \(-5\) is 0. So, the right side becomes \( 20x^3 \).
Set the derivatives equal to each other: \( \cos y \cdot \frac{dy}{dx} = 20x^3 \).
Solve for \( \frac{dy}{dx} \) by dividing both sides by \( \cos y \), resulting in \( \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{20x^3}{\cos y} \).

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Implicit Differentiation

Implicit differentiation is a technique used to differentiate equations where the dependent and independent variables are not explicitly separated. Instead of solving for y in terms of x, we differentiate both sides of the equation with respect to x, treating y as a function of x. This method is particularly useful for equations that are difficult or impossible to rearrange.

Chain Rule

The chain rule is a fundamental principle in calculus that allows us to differentiate composite functions. When using implicit differentiation, the chain rule is applied to terms involving y, resulting in the derivative dy/dx. This means that when differentiating a function of y, we multiply by dy/dx to account for the dependence of y on x.

Intro to the Chain Rule

Evaluating at a Point

After finding the derivative dy/dx using implicit differentiation, we often need to evaluate it at a specific point, such as (1, π) in this case. This involves substituting the x and y values into the derived expression to find the slope of the tangent line at that point. This step is crucial for understanding the behavior of the function at specific coordinates.

{Use of Tech} Approximating derivatives Assuming the limit exists, the definition of the derivative f′(a) = lim h→0 f(a + h) − f(a) / h implies that if ℎ is small, then an approximation to f′(a) is given by

f' (a) ≈ f(a+h) - f(a) / h. If ℎ > 0 , then this approximation is called a forward difference quotient; if ℎ < 0 , it is a backward difference quotient. As shown in the following exercises, these formulas are used to approximate f′ at a point when f is a complicated function or when f is represented by a set of data points. <IMAGE>
