Try these problems to freshen up your Calculus skills!!

  • If log(x2+y2)=2tan1(yx)\log { ({ x }^{ 2 }+{ y }^{ 2 }) = 2\tan ^{ -1 }{ \left( \frac { y }{ x } \right) } }, then show that dydx=x+yxy\frac { dy }{ dx } =\frac { x+y }{ x-y }.

Do post solutions. Thanks!!

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

  • Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
  • Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
  • Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
  • Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

Third one :

cos1(x2y2x2+y2)=tan1(a)\cos^{-1}\left( \dfrac{x^{2}-y^{2}}{x^{2}+y^{2}} \right) = \tan^{-1}(a)
(x2y2x2+y2)=cos(tan1(a))\left( \dfrac{x^{2}-y^{2}}{x^{2}+y^{2}}\right) = \cos(\tan^{-1}(a))
Apply componendo-dividendo,
x2y2=c \dfrac{x^{2}}{y^{2}} = -c where c is a constant.
This, is just the equation of straight line through the origin.
dydx=(Slope)=yx \therefore \dfrac{dy}{dx} =(\text{Slope}) = \dfrac{y}{x}

Fifth one :
x2+y2=t1t x^{2} + y^{2} = t - \dfrac{1}{t}
Squaring,
x4+y4+2x2y2=t2+1t22 x^{4} + y^{4} + 2x^{2}y^{2} = t^{2} + \dfrac{1}{t^{2}} - 2
x2y2=1 \therefore x^{2}y^{2} = - 1
y2=1x2 y^{2} = \dfrac{-1}{x^{2}}
Differentiate ,

2ydydx=2x3 2y \dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{2}{x^{3}}
dydx=1x3y \therefore \dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{1}{x^{3}y}

First one,
Differentiating,
2x2+y2(x+ydydx)=2x2x2+y2(xdydxy)1x2 \dfrac{2}{x^{2}+y^{2}}\left(x+y\dfrac{dy}{dx}\right) = 2\dfrac{x^{2}}{x^{2}+y^{2}}\left(x\dfrac{dy}{dx} - y\right) \cdot \dfrac{1}{x^{2}}
x+ydydx=xdydxy x + y \dfrac{dy}{dx} = x\dfrac{dy}{dx} - y
x+y=(xy)dydx x + y = (x-y)\dfrac{dy}{dx}
dydx=x+yxy \dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{x+y}{x-y}

@A Former Brilliant Member Second one :

x1+y+y1+x=0 x\sqrt{1+y} + y\sqrt{1+x} = 0
x2(1+y)=y2(1+x) x^{2}(1+y) = y^{2}(1+x)
x2y2=y2xx2y x^{2} - y^{2} = y^{2}x - x^{2}y
(x+y)(xy)=xy(yx) (x+y)(x-y) = xy(y-x)
x+y=xy x+y = -xy
x=y(1+x) x = -y(1+x)
y=x1+x -y = \dfrac{x}{1+x}
y=111+x -y = 1 - \dfrac{1}{1+x}
Differentiate,
dydx=1(1+x)2 -\dfrac{dy}{dx} = -\dfrac{-1}{(1+x)^{2}}
dydx=1(1+x)2 \dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{-1}{(1+x)^{2}}

@A Former Brilliant Member Fourth one :
sin(y)=xsin(a+y) \sin(y) = x\sin(a+y)
Differentiating,
cos(y)dydx=sin(a+y)+xcos(a+y)dydx \cos(y)\dfrac{dy}{dx} = \sin(a+y) + x\cos(a+y)\dfrac{dy}{dx}
dydx=sin(a+y)cos(y)xcos(a+y) \dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{\sin(a+y)}{\cos(y) - x\cos(a+y)}
dydx=sin(a+y)cos(y)x(cos(a)cos(y)sin(a)sin(y))=sin(a+y)cos(y)(1xcos(a))+xsin(a)sin(y) \dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{\sin(a+y)}{\cos(y) - x(\cos(a)\cos(y) - \sin(a)\sin(y))} = \dfrac{\sin(a+y)}{\cos(y)(1-x\cos(a)) + x\sin(a)\sin(y)}

Frimt the original equation,
sin(y)=xsin(y)cos(a)+xcos(y)sin(a) \sin(y) = x\sin(y)\cos(a) + x\cos(y)\sin(a)
1xcos(a)=xsin(a)cot(y) 1 - x\cos(a) = x\sin(a)\cot(y)

Substituting,
dydx=sin(a+y)cos(y)xsin(a)cot(y)+xsin(a)sin(y) \dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{\sin(a+y)}{\cos(y)x\sin(a)\cot(y) + x\sin(a)\sin(y)}
dydx=sin(a+y)sin(y)xsin(a)(cos2(y)+sin2(y)) \therefore \dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{\sin(a+y)\sin(y)}{x\sin(a)\left(\cos^{2}(y)+\sin^{2}(y)\right)}
Substituting,
sin(y)=xsin(a+y) \sin(y) = x\sin(a+y)
dydx=xsin(a+y)sin(a+y)xsin(a)=sin2(a+y)sin(a) \dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{x\sin(a+y)\cdot \sin(a+y)}{x\sin(a)} = \dfrac{\sin^{2}(a+y)}{\sin(a)}
