NCERT Class 12 Maths · Chapter 5 Continuity And Differentiability · Exercise 5.5 Question 14

Find dy/dx if (cos x)ʸ=(cos y)ˣ.

💡 Concept Hints

  1. Identify the domain and the inner and outer functions, or the relevant one-sided limits.
  2. Apply the appropriate differentiation or limit rule, keep all chain factors, and check exceptional points.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: \(\frac{y \cos^{y}{\left(x \right)} \tan{\left(x \right)} + \log{\left(\cos{\left(y \right)} \right)} \cos^{x}{\left(y \right)}}{x \cos^{x}{\left(y \right)} \tan{\left(y \right)} + \log{\left(\cos{\left(x \right)} \right)} \cos^{y}{\left(x \right)}}\) where the stated powers and derivative are defined.
  1. Use logarithmic/chain differentiation of each variable power. Require cos x,cos y>0 for the real variable powers.
  2. Differentiating with respect to x gives \(- \frac{y \sin{\left(x \right)} \cos^{y}{\left(x \right)}}{\cos{\left(x \right)}} - \log{\left(\cos{\left(y \right)} \right)} \cos^{x}{\left(y \right)}\) + \(\frac{x \sin{\left(y \right)} \cos^{x}{\left(y \right)}}{\cos{\left(y \right)}} + \log{\left(\cos{\left(x \right)} \right)} \cos^{y}{\left(x \right)}\) y′=0.
  3. Collect y′ terms and divide by \(\frac{x \sin{\left(y \right)} \cos^{x}{\left(y \right)}}{\cos{\left(y \right)}} + \log{\left(\cos{\left(x \right)} \right)} \cos^{y}{\left(x \right)}\) when nonzero: y′=\(\frac{y \cos^{y}{\left(x \right)} \tan{\left(x \right)} + \log{\left(\cos{\left(y \right)} \right)} \cos^{x}{\left(y \right)}}{x \cos^{x}{\left(y \right)} \tan{\left(y \right)} + \log{\left(\cos{\left(x \right)} \right)} \cos^{y}{\left(x \right)}}\).
