What is the derivative y' of x + y + ln(xy) = 0

Differentiate x + y + ln(xy) =
0


`dx + dy + 1/(xy) d(xy) = 0` Using the chain
rule


d(xy) = xdy+ydx using the product
rule


`dx+dy+1/(xy)(xdy+ydx)=0`


Distributing
`1/(xy)` we get


`dx + dy + dy/y + dx/x =
0`


Moving the dx terms to the right
side


`dy + 1/y dy = - (dx + 1/x
dx)`


Factoring dx and dy we
get


`dy(1+1/y) =
-(1+1/x)dx`


`dy/dx = -(1+1/x)/(1+1/y) =
-((x+1)/x)/((y+1)/y)=-(y(x+1))/(x(y+1)) `
