Solution by Steps
step 1
To find dxdy when x=4, we first need to differentiate y with respect to u using the given result from asksia-ll calculator
step 2
The derivative of y with respect to u is dudy=−(u−4)28
step 3
Next, we differentiate u with respect to x using the given result from asksia-ll calculator
step 4
The derivative of u with respect to x is dxdu=201(x1+2)
step 5
Now, we apply the chain rule to find dxdy by multiplying dudy and dxdu
step 6
Substituting the derivatives from steps 2 and 4, we get dxdy=dudy⋅dxdu=−(u−4)28⋅201(x1+2)
step 7
Substitute u=10x+x into dxdy
step 8
Finally, substitute x=4 into the expression for dxdy to find the value when x=4
step 9
After substitution, we simplify to get the final value of dxdy when x=4
