What is \( \frac{dy}{dx} \) equal to ?

For the next two (02) items that follow : Let \( (e^y)^x - y = 0 \), where y is a function of x whose domain is (0, 10].

  1. A. \frac{y}{1-xy}
  2. B. \frac{y}{1+xy}
  3. C. \frac{y^2}{1-xy}
  4. D. \frac{y^2}{1+xy}

Correct Answer: C. \frac{y^2}{1-xy}

Explanation

The equation is \( e^{xy} = y \), which gives \( xy = \ln y \). Differentiating both sides with respect to x yields \( y + x \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{y} \frac{dy}{dx} \). Rearranging for \( \frac{dy}{dx} \) gives \( \frac{y^2}{1-xy} \).
