Answer
To prove (\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{4x( x - 1 )}):
Differentiate (x = sec^2 2y) with respect to (y):
dydx=4sec22ytan2y
Rearranging gives:
dxdy=4sec22ytan2y1
Express (sec^2 2y) in terms of (x):
sec22y=x
Substitute into the expression for (\frac{dy}{dx}):
dxdy=4xtan2y1
Continue to simplify using relationships between (tan) and other trigonometric functions:
dxdy=4x(x−1)1
Step 2
Given that $y = (x^2 + x) \ln 2x$, find the exact value of \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) at \(x = \frac{e}{2}\)

Answer
Start by differentiating (y = (x^2 + x) \ln 2x):
Use the product rule:
dxdy=(x2+x)dxd(ln2x)+ln2xdxd(x2+x)
