Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(-\frac{1}{x^3 y}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(x^2+y^2=\mathrm{t}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{t}} \text { and } x^4+y^4=\mathrm{t}^2+\frac{1}{\mathrm{t}^2} \)
\( \therefore \left(x^2+y^2\right)^2=\left(\mathrm{t}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{t}}\right)^2 \)
\( \therefore x^4+y^4+2 x^2 y^2=\mathrm{t}^2+\frac{1}{\mathrm{t}^2}+2 \)
\( \therefore \mathrm{t}^2+\frac{1}{\mathrm{t}^2}+2 x^2 y^2=\mathrm{t}^2+\frac{1}{\mathrm{t}^2}+2 \)
\( \therefore x^2 \dot{y}^2=1 \)
\( \therefore y^2=\frac{1}{x^2}\)
Differentiating w.r.t. \(x\), we get
\(2 y \frac{\mathrm{~d} y}{\mathrm{~d} x}=\frac{-2}{x^3} \)
\( \therefore \frac{\mathrm{~d} y}{\mathrm{~d} x}=\frac{-1}{x^3 y}\)
