Implicit derivative of $$$y^{2} = 10 x$$$ with respect to $$$x$$$
Your Input
Find $$$\frac{d}{dx} \left(y^{2} = 10 x\right)$$$.
Solution
Differentiate separately both sides of the equation (treat $$$y$$$ as a function of $$$x$$$): $$$\frac{d}{dx} \left(y^{2}{\left(x \right)}\right) = \frac{d}{dx} \left(10 x\right)$$$.
Differentiate the LHS of the equation.
The function $$$y^{2}{\left(x \right)}$$$ is the composition $$$f{\left(g{\left(x \right)} \right)}$$$ of two functions $$$f{\left(u \right)} = u^{2}$$$ and $$$g{\left(x \right)} = y{\left(x \right)}$$$.
Apply the chain rule $$$\frac{d}{dx} \left(f{\left(g{\left(x \right)} \right)}\right) = \frac{d}{du} \left(f{\left(u \right)}\right) \frac{d}{dx} \left(g{\left(x \right)}\right)$$$:
$${\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{dx} \left(y^{2}{\left(x \right)}\right)\right)} = {\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{du} \left(u^{2}\right) \frac{d}{dx} \left(y{\left(x \right)}\right)\right)}$$Apply the power rule $$$\frac{d}{du} \left(u^{n}\right) = n u^{n - 1}$$$ with $$$n = 2$$$:
$${\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{du} \left(u^{2}\right)\right)} \frac{d}{dx} \left(y{\left(x \right)}\right) = {\color{red}\left(2 u\right)} \frac{d}{dx} \left(y{\left(x \right)}\right)$$Return to the old variable:
$$2 {\color{red}\left(u\right)} \frac{d}{dx} \left(y{\left(x \right)}\right) = 2 {\color{red}\left(y{\left(x \right)}\right)} \frac{d}{dx} \left(y{\left(x \right)}\right)$$Thus, $$$\frac{d}{dx} \left(y^{2}{\left(x \right)}\right) = 2 y{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{dx} \left(y{\left(x \right)}\right)$$$.
Differentiate the RHS of the equation.
Apply the constant multiple rule $$$\frac{d}{dx} \left(c f{\left(x \right)}\right) = c \frac{d}{dx} \left(f{\left(x \right)}\right)$$$ with $$$c = 10$$$ and $$$f{\left(x \right)} = x$$$:
$${\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{dx} \left(10 x\right)\right)} = {\color{red}\left(10 \frac{d}{dx} \left(x\right)\right)}$$Apply the power rule $$$\frac{d}{dx} \left(x^{n}\right) = n x^{n - 1}$$$ with $$$n = 1$$$, in other words, $$$\frac{d}{dx} \left(x\right) = 1$$$:
$$10 {\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{dx} \left(x\right)\right)} = 10 {\color{red}\left(1\right)}$$Thus, $$$\frac{d}{dx} \left(10 x\right) = 10$$$.
Therefore, we have obtained the following linear equation with respect to the derivative: $$$2 y \frac{dy}{dx} = 10$$$.
Solving it, we obtain that $$$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{5}{y}$$$.
Answer
$$$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{5}{y}$$$A
