In summary, if $\displaystyle \sin{\left(xy\right)}=x+y$, then $\displaystyle\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{y\cos(xy)-1}{1-x\cos(xy)}$. This is found using implicit differentiation and isolating $\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}$ by distributing and dividing terms.

if $\displaystyle \sin{\left(xy\right)}=x+y$, then $\displaystyle\frac{dy}{dx}=$

know this is implicit differentiation and that $\displaystyle\frac{dy}{dx}$ of $\displaystyle\sin(xy)$ is $\displaystyle y\cos{(xy)}$ but how is this done with $= x + y$

the answer to this is
$
\displaystyle
\frac{y \cos{⁡(xy)}-1}{1-x \cos{(⁡xy)}}
$

\(\displaystyle \frac{ d(sin(xy)) }{dx} = cos(xy) \times \frac{d(xy)}{dx}\)

\(\displaystyle \frac{d( sin(xy) ))}{dx} = cos(xy) \times (y + xy')\)

Can you do it from here?

$\displaystyle\frac{dy}{dx}(x+y)= 1+y'$

so,

$\cos{xy}\left[y+xy'\right]
=1+y'
$

so, distributing and isolating terms with y'

$\displaystyle
y\cos(xy)-1=y' -x\cos(xy)y' = (1-x\cos(xy))y'
$

dividing

$\displaystyle
\frac{y\cos(xy)-1}{1-x\cos(xy)} = y'=\frac{dy}{dx}
$

Looks good to me. :)

FAQ: What is the Implicit Differentiation Formula for sin(xy) = x+y?

What is the relationship between sin(xy) and x+y?

The equation sin(xy) = x+y indicates that there is a trigonometric relationship between the product of x and y and the sum of x and y.

How do you solve for dy/dx in the equation sin(xy) = x+y?

To solve for dy/dx, we need to take the derivative of both sides of the equation using the chain rule. This will result in dy/dx = (cos(xy)*y + cos(xy)*x)/(1-cos(xy)).

Can you rewrite the equation sin(xy) = x+y in terms of y?

Yes, we can rewrite the equation as y = (sin(xy)-x)/(1-cos(xy)).

Is there a specific domain for which this equation holds true?

The equation sin(xy) = x+y holds true for all real numbers x and y.

How does the graph of sin(xy) = x+y look like?

The graph of sin(xy) = x+y is a three-dimensional surface that resembles a saddle shape. It has a center point at the origin and extends infinitely in all directions.
