If \({\mathrm{xe}}^{\mathrm{y}}=1\), then the value of \(\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{d}x}\) at \(\mathrm{x}=1\) is :
✓ Correct answer: a)
-1
Explanation
\(\frac{d}{dx}\left(x{e}^{y}\right)=\frac{d}{dx}(1)\)
\({e}^{y}+x{e}^{y}\frac{dy}{dx}=0\)
\(\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{-{e}^{y}}{x{e}^{y}}\)
\(\frac{dy}{dx}=-\frac{1}{x}\)
\({\left.\frac{dy}{dx}\right|}_{x=1}=-\frac{1}{1}=-1\)
