Identify Product Rule: To find the derivative of y with respect to x, we need to use the product rule because y is a product of two functions, x and ex.
Define Functions: Let u=x and v=ex. Then, we need to find the derivatives of u and v with respect to x.
Find Derivatives: The derivative of u with respect to x is (1/2)x(−1/2) because the derivative of x(1/2) is (1/2)x(1/2−1).
Apply Product Rule: The derivative of v with respect to x is ex because the derivative of ex with respect to x is ex.
Substitute into Formula: Now, apply the product rule: (dxdy)=u′(x)v(x)+u(x)v′(x).
Simplify Expression: Substitute the derivatives and functions into the product rule: (dxdy)=(21)x(−21)ex+xex.
Combine Terms: Simplify the expression: (dxdy)=(21)x(−21)e(x)+x(21)e(x).
Final Answer: Combine the terms: dxdy=ex(21x−21+x21).
Final Answer: Combine the terms: (dy)/(dx)=ex((1/2)x(−1/2)+x(1/2)).The final answer is (dy)/(dx)=ex((1/2)x(−1/2)+x(1/2)).
