Step 1: Rewrite the given equation
Given \( x = e^{x/y} \), take the natural logarithm on both sides: \[ \log x = \frac{x}{y}. \]
Step 2: Express \( y \) in terms of \( x \)
Rearranging: \[ y = \frac{x}{\log x}. \]
Step 3: Differentiate with respect to \( x \)
Using the quotient rule:
\[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{(\log x)(1) - x \cdot \frac{1}{x}}{(\log x)^2}. \] Simplify: \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\log x - 1}{(\log x)^2}. \]
Step 4: Conclude the result
Thus, \( \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\log x - 1}{(\log x)^2} \).
Determine whether each of the following relations are reflexive, symmetric, and transitive.
Show that the relation R in the set R of real numbers, defined as
R = {(a, b): a ≤ b2 } is neither reflexive nor symmetric nor transitive.
Check whether the relation R defined in the set {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} as
R = {(a, b): b = a + 1} is reflexive, symmetric or transitive.
