MTH 102 Differentiation Objective Question

Question

Find \( dy/dx \) if \( xy + \sin y = 1 \).
Options
A \( -y / (x + \cos y) \)
Correct Answer
B \( y / (x + \cos y) \)
C \( -1 / (x + \cos y) \)
D 0
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

( (y + x y') + \cos y y' = 0 \implies y'(x + \cos y) = -y \implies y' = -y / (x + \cos y) ).

Hint

Recall the derivative of \( xy \) as \( y + x y' \).
