Answer:

Therefore, the derivative of y with respect to x is 0 if 2^xy=1.

Explanation:

ln(2^xy) = ln(1)

Using the logarithmic identity:

ln(b^x) = x*ln(b)

We can simplify the equation to:

xy*ln(2) = 0

Since ln(2) is not equal to zero, we can divide both sides of the equation by ln(2) to get:

xy = 0

The derivative of y with respect to x is given by:

dy/dx = 0

Therefore, the derivative of y with respect to x is 0 if 2^xy=1.
