Question
given the equation \\(x^8 + y^5 = 25\\), find \\(\frac{dy}{dx}\\) by implicit differentiation.
answer
\\(\frac{dy}{dx} =\\)
Differentiate both sides with respect to x
$$
\frac{d}{dx}(x^8 + y^5) = \frac{d}{dx}(25)
$$
$$
8x^7 + 5y^4 \frac{dy}{dx} = 0
$$
Solve for dy/dx
$$
5y^4 \frac{dy}{dx} = -8x^7
$$
$$
\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{8x^7}{5y^4}
$$
