is anyone on this board competent in calculus ?
« on: April 28, 2006, 07:07:50 AM »
i need help in a differentiation question... if you could show working, that'd be superb... cheers.

1.)   (2y - x)^4 + x^2 = y + 3

2.)  2(x^2 + 1)^3 + (y^2 + 1)^2 = 17

Damn you're gonna have to use implicit differentiation for this. I would help out but it's been years since I did this, and I would need the weekend to school up.

The only hint I can give you is that both answers will be expressed in terms of x and y, not just x as regular differentiation usually gives you.

Good luck.

this is the question: find dy/dx by differentiating implicitly. when applicable, express the result in terms of x and y ...

i just goto find dy/dx dont need to solve for x and y on this one...

dammet ! the problem is i never did calculus in high school, i'm learning all this shit myself from the text book... so i have a few gaps in fundamental rules of calculus..  >:(

1st one   

4(2y-x)^3 - 2x / 8(2y-x)^3 - 1 = dy/dx

1.)   (2y - x)^4 + x^2 = y + 3

2.)  2(x^2 + 1)^3 + (y^2 + 1)^2 = 17


1. (1 - 8(2y -x)^3)^-1 * (2x - (4(2y - x)^3)) = dy/dx

2. 12x(x^2 + 1)^2  / (-4y(y^2 + 1)) = dy/dx

Damn, questions like these were the reason why i stuck to business maths at school

steps
1.)   (2y - x)^4 + x^2 = y + 3

d((2y - x)^4) / dx = 4(2y - x)^3((d((2y - x))/dx = 4(2y - x)^3(2y * dy/dx - 1)

8y(2y - x)^3dy/dx - 4(2y - x)^3 + 2x = dy/dx

 - 4(2y - x)^3 + 2x = dy/dx - 8y(2y - x)^3dy/dx

2x - 4(2y - x)^3  = dy/dx - 8y(2y - x)^3dy/dx

2x - 4(2y - x)^3  = dy/dx(1 - 8y(2y - x)^3)

(2x - 4(2y - x)^3) / (1 - 8y(2y - x)^3)   = dy/dx


2.)  2(x^2 + 1)^3 + (y^2 + 1)^2 = 17

12x(x^2 + 1)^2 + 4y(y^2 + 1)dy/dx = 0

12x(x^2 + 1)^2 = -4y(y^2 + 1)dy/dx

12x(x^2 + 1)^2 / -4y(y^2 + 1) = dy/dx

3x(x^2 + 1)^2 / -y(y^2 + 1) = dy/dx


it looks like my answer agrees with za scarab's, so that is good.

thanks for that nibs and scarab.. i'm just going over the workings now, you got alot closer than i did...

the solution is:

[4(2y-x)^3 - 2x] / [8(2y-x)^3 - 1]

and nibs got the second solution right... props on that.


the one i'm finding real tricky is this one too:

(3x^2) / ((y^2)+1) + y = 3x + 1

i get the second one !!!  ;D

the only area i fucked up is  -- 12x(x^2 + 1)^2 = -4y(y^2 + 1)dy/dx -- i dont know why, but i fucked up here.. stupid mistake dammet. instead of isolating the dy/dx, i multiplied one of the brackets out, thats what i mean i have gaps even in algebra and BIMDAS...

your answer wasn't "wrong", you simply omitted the parenthesis  to indicate the correct terms.

your answer:
(4(2y-x)^3 - 2x) / (8(2y-x)^3 - 1) = dy/dx

i had a -1 / -1 factor in mine, so it looked different but also the same

thanks for that nibs and scarab..

Ask my Muslim brothers nibs and scarab (Kassem Fawzy), they'll take care of you.  The world has the Muslims to thank for Algebra (invented by Al-Jabeer), Arabic numerals, and the number 0.
