If $e^{-y} \cdot y=x$, then $\frac{d y}{d x}$ is

  • A
    $\frac{y}{1-y}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{x y(1-y)}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{x(1-y)}$
  • Correct answer
    D
    $\frac{\mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{x}(1-\mathrm{y})}$

Solution

$$ \begin{aligned} & e^{-y} \cdot y=x \\ & \therefore \frac{y}{e^y}=x \Rightarrow y=x e^y \ldots \end{aligned} $$ and $$ \mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{y}}=\frac{\mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{x}} $$ Now $y=\mathrm{xe}^{\mathrm{y}}$ $$ \begin{aligned} & \therefore \frac{d y}{d x}=x e^y \frac{d y}{d x}+e^y \\ & \therefore \frac{d y}{d x}\left(x e^y-1\right)=-e^y \Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{-e^y}{x e^y-1} \end{aligned} $$ From (1) and (2), we write $$ \frac{d y}{d x}=-\left(\frac{y}{x}\right) \times \frac{1}{y-1}=\frac{-y}{x(y-1)}=\frac{y}{x(1-y)} $$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
