Question

Evaluate dy/dx of the implicit function e^(x+y) - (x²+1)y = 5
Options
A (2xy-e^(x+y))/(e^(x+y)-x²-1)
Correct Answer
B e^(x+y)/(e^(x+y)-x²-1)
C 2xy/(e^(x+y)-x²-1)
D (2xy-e^(x+y))/e^(x+y)
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Differentiating: e^(x+y)(1+y') - [2xy+(x²+1)y'] = 0. Collecting y' terms: y'[e^(x+y)-(x²+1)] = 2xy-e^(x+y), so y'=(2xy-e^(x+y))/(e^(x+y)-x²-1).

Hint

Differentiate both sides implicitly, treating e^(x+y) with the chain rule and (x²+1)y with the product rule, then collect all y' terms.
