If
, show that
.
Or
If xy-yx=ab, find
.
Given that ![]()
Differentiating with respect to itself, we get

![]()
![]()
Simplifying, we get
x dx + y dy = x dy – y dx
or
dx(x + y)= dy(x-y)
Hence, ![]()
OR
Given that xy-yx=ab
Let u= xy and v= yx, then we get
u-v= ab
Differentiating with respect to x, we get
(Since ab is constant) …. (1)
u= xy
Taking log both sides
![]()
Differentiating with respect to x, we get
![]()
⇒ ![]()
Hence,
….. (2)
v= yx
Taking log both sides
![]()
Differentiating with respect to x, we get
![]()
⇒ ![]()
![]()
Hence,
……(3)
Substituting (2) and (3) in (1), we get
![]()
Simplifying, we get
![]()
