xp yq = ( x+y )p+q

IN these questions there are two approaches.. either differentiate directly or differentiate after taking log
The second one is generally easier

take log on both sides

p log x + q log y = (p+q) Log (x+y)

differentiate

p/x+ q/y dy/dx = (p+q)/(x+y) {1+dy/dx}

Now can you find dy/dx?
