Question

Implicit Function Theorem. Let G(x,y) have continuous first partial derivatives in the rectangle R={x,y:a<x<b,c<y<d} containing the point (x0,y0). If G(x0,y0)=0 and the partial derivative Gy(x0,y0)0, then there exists a differentiable function y=ϕ(x), defined in some interval I=(x0-δ,y0+δ), that satisfies G for all for G(x,ϕx) all xI.

The implicit function theorem gives conditions under which the relationship G(x,y)=0 implicitly defines y as a function of x. Use the implicit function theorem to show that the relationship x+y+exy=0 given in Example 4, defines y implicitly as a function of x near the point (0,-1).

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The given relationship implicitly defines y as a function of x near the point 0,-1.

1Step 1: Finding the partial derivative of the given relation concerning y

yx+y+exy=1+x exy

2Step 2: Determining whether the given relation defines y implicitly as a function of x or not

As one sees in Step 1, the partial derivative of the given relation is not equal to zero for all x in the interval 0.-1

Hence, the given relationship x+y+exy=0 defines y implicitly as a function of x near the point (0,-1).
