a. Use implicit differentiation to find dy/dx.

검증된 단계별 안내

Start by differentiating both sides of the equation y(x²+4)=8 with respect to x. This involves using implicit differentiation, where you treat y as a function of x.

Apply the product rule to differentiate the left side of the equation. The product rule states that d(uv)/dx = u(dv/dx) + v(du/dx), where u and v are functions of x. Here, u = y and v = (x²+4).

Differentiate u = y with respect to x, which gives dy/dx. Differentiate v = (x²+4) with respect to x, which gives 2x.

Substitute the derivatives back into the product rule: y(2x) + (x²+4)(dy/dx) = 0. This equation comes from differentiating the left side of the original equation.

Solve for dy/dx by isolating it on one side of the equation. Rearrange the terms to get (x²+4)(dy/dx) = -y(2x), and then divide both sides by (x²+4) to find dy/dx = -y(2x)/(x²+4).

Implicit Differentiation

Implicit differentiation is a technique used to differentiate equations where the dependent and independent variables are not isolated on one side. Instead of solving for y explicitly, we differentiate both sides of the equation with respect to x, applying the chain rule when necessary. This method is particularly useful for curves defined by equations that cannot be easily rearranged.

Chain Rule

The chain rule is a fundamental principle in calculus that allows us to differentiate composite functions. It states that if a function y is composed of another function u, then the derivative of y with respect to x can be found by multiplying the derivative of y with respect to u by the derivative of u with respect to x. This is essential in implicit differentiation, where y is often a function of x indirectly.

Witch of Agnesi

The Witch of Agnesi is a specific type of curve defined by the equation y(x² + 4) = 8, which can be rearranged to express y in terms of x. This curve is notable in mathematics for its unique shape and properties, resembling a bell. Understanding its equation and characteristics is crucial for applying differentiation techniques effectively in the context of the problem.
