The value of [tex]\frac{dy}{dx}[/tex] is -3. [tex]\blacksquare[/tex]

Procedure - Differentiability

Chain rule and derivatives

We derive an expression for [tex]\frac{dy}{dx}[/tex] by means of chain rule and differentiation rule for a product of functions:

[tex]\frac{d}{dx}[f(x)\cdot g(y)] = [f'(x)\cdot \frac{dx}{dx}]\cdot g(y) + f(x) \cdot [g'(y)\cdot \frac{dy}{dx} ][/tex]

[tex]\frac{d}{dx}[f(x)\cdot g(y)] = f'(x)\cdot g(y) +f(x)\cdot g'(y)\cdot \frac{dy}{dx}[/tex] (1)

If we know that [tex]f(x) \cdot g(y) = 17-x-y[/tex], [tex]f(-2) = 3[/tex], [tex]f'(-2) = 4[/tex], [tex]g(4) = 5[/tex] and[tex]g'(4) = 2[/tex], then we have the following expression:

[tex]-1-\frac{dy}{dx} = (4)\cdot (5) + (3)\cdot (2) \cdot \frac{dy}{dx}[/tex]

[tex]-1-\frac{dy}{dx} = 20 + 6\cdot \frac{dy}{dx}[/tex]

[tex]7\cdot \frac{dy}{dx} = -21[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dy}{dx} = -3[/tex]

The value of [tex]\frac{dy}{dx}[/tex] is -3. [tex]\blacksquare[/tex]
