Class 12 Maths · Continuity And Differentiability · Long Answer #132

If x/(x−y)=ln[a/(x−y)], where a/(x−y)>0, x−y≠0 and y≠0, prove y′=2−x/y.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: 2−x/y
  1. Let d=x−y. Differentiate the left side by the quotient rule: [d−x(1−y′)]/d²=(xy′−y)/d².
  2. The derivative of ln(a/d) is −(1−y′)/d=(y′−1)/d, since a is constant.
  3. Equating and multiplying by d² gives xy′−y=(y′−1)(x−y). Cancelling xy′ and rearranging gives yy′=2y−x.
  4. Divide by y≠0: y′=2−x/y.
