Class 12 Maths · Continuity And Differentiability · Long Answer #129

If x√(1+y)+y√(1+x)=0, −1<x<1, y>−1 and x≠y, show y′=−1/(1+x)².

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: −1/(1+x)²
  1. Square the relation x√(1+y)=−y√(1+x) to get x²(1+y)=y²(1+x).
  2. Rearrange and factor: (x−y)(x+y+xy)=0. Since x≠y, x+y+xy=0.
  3. Because x>−1, solve y=−x/(1+x). Differentiating the quotient gives y′=−[(1+x)−x]/(1+x)².
  4. Therefore y′=−1/(1+x)². The branch y=−x/(1+x) satisfies the original unsquared equation.

📋 CBSE Stepwise Marking Scheme

  • [0.5 marks] Square the relation x√(1+y)=−y√(1+x) to get x²(1+y)=y²(1+x).
  • [1 mark] Rearrange and factor: (x−y)(x+y+xy)=0. Since x≠y, x+y+xy=0.
  • [1 mark] Because x>−1, solve y=−x/(1+x). Differentiating the quotient gives y′=−[(1+x)−x]/(1+x)².
  • [0.5 marks] Therefore y′=−1/(1+x)². The branch y=−x/(1+x) satisfies the original unsquared equation.
