Final answer:
To find du/dv, differentiate the equation with respect to v using the chain rule.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find du/dv, we need to differentiate the given equation with respect to v.
Let's take the equation: √u + √(2v+1) = 5.
First, let's isolate √u by subtracting √(2v+1) from both sides:
√u = 5 - √(2v+1).
Square both sides to get rid of the square root:
u = (5 - √(2v+1))^2.
Now we can differentiate both sides with respect to v using the chain rule:
du/dv = 2(5 - √(2v+1)) * (d/dv (5 - √(2v+1))).
Simplifying the equation gives:
du/dv = 2(5 - √(2v+1)) * (-√2).
So, du/dv = -2√2(5 - √(2v+1)).
