Given that 3x – tan y = 4, what is dy/dx in terms of y?

Answer:
[tex]\frac{dy}{dx}[/tex] = 3 cos² y ⇒ B
Step-by-step explanation:
∵ 3x - tan(y) = 4
∵ The differentiation of tan(y) with respect to x is sec² y · dy/dx
∵ The differentiation of 3x with respect to x is 3
∵ the differentiation to 4 with respect to x is 0
∴ d/dx [3x - tan(y) = 4] is 3 - sec² y · dy/dx = 0
∵ 3 - sec²(y) · dy/dx = 0
→ Subtract 3 from both sides
∴ - sec² y · dy/dx = -3
→ Divide both sides by -1
∴ sec² y · dy/dx = 3
→ Divide both sides by sec²(x)
∴ [tex]\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{3}{sec^{2}y}[/tex]
→ Remember [tex]\frac{1}{secy}[/tex] = cos y
∵ [tex]\frac{1}{sec^{2}y}[/tex] = cos² y
∴ [tex]\frac{3}{sec^{2}y}[/tex] = 3 cos² y
∴ [tex]\frac{dy}{dx}[/tex] = 3 cos² y
dy/dx of 3x – tan y = 4 in terms of y is;
dy/dx = 3cos²y
We are given;
3x - tan y = 4
Let's differentiate in terms of y to get;
3 - sec²y(dy/dx) = 0
This is because the derivative of tan y in terms of y is sec²y(dy/dx).
Thus, using addition property of equality, we have;
3 = sec²y(dy/dx)
Now, in trigonometric ratios;
sec y = 1/cos y
Thus;
sec²y = 1/cos²y
Therefore;
3 = (1/cos²y) (dy/dx)
Thus;
dy/dx = 3cos²y
