Answer:

State correct derivative of \(y \mathrm{e}^{2 x}\) with respect to \(x\)
State correct derivative of \(y^{2} \mathrm{e}^{x}\) with respect to \(x\)
Equate attempted derivative of the LHS to zero and solve for \(\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{~d} x}\)
Obtain \(\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{~d} x}=\frac{2 y \mathrm{e}^{x}-y^{2}}{2 y-\mathrm{e}^{x}}\)
Alternative method for Question 9(a)
Rearrange as \(y=\frac{2}{\mathrm{e}^{2 x}-y \mathrm{e}^{x}} \Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d} x}\left(\mathrm{e}^{2 x}-y \mathrm{e}^{x}\right)=2 \mathrm{e}^{2 x}-y \mathrm{e}^{x}-\mathrm{e}^{x} \frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{~d} x}\)
\(\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{~d} x}=-\frac{2}{\left(\mathrm{e}^{2 x}-y \mathrm{e}^{x}\right)^{2}} \times\left(2 \mathrm{e}^{2 x}-y \mathrm{e}^{x}-\mathrm{e}^{x} \frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{~d} x}\right)\)
Solve for \(\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{~d} x}\)
Obtain \(\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{~d} x}=\frac{2 y \mathrm{e}^{x}-y^{2}}{2 y-\mathrm{e}^{x}}\)
