Given ex7−y7x7+y7=ae^{\frac{x^7-y^7}{x^7+y^7}}=a (aa constant).

Step 1 — the exponent is constant (take log of both sides):

x7−y7x7+y7=k(k=log⁡a, constant)\frac{x^7-y^7}{x^7+y^7}=k \quad(k=\log a,\text{ constant})

Step 2 — cross-multiply:

x7−y7=k(x7+y7)x^7-y^7=k(x^7+y^7)

Step 3 — differentiate implicitly:

7x6−7y6dydx=k(7x6+7y6dydx)7x^6-7y^6\frac{dy}{dx}=k\left(7x^6+7y^6\frac{dy}{dx}\right)

Step 4 — collect dy/dxdy/dx terms:

−y6(1+k)dydx=x6(k−1)-y^6(1+k)\frac{dy}{dx}=x^6(k-1)

dydx=x6(1−k)y6(1+k)\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{x^6(1-k)}{y^6(1+k)}

Step 5 — resolve 1−k,1+k1-k,1+k from k=x7−y7x7+y7k=\dfrac{x^7-y^7}{x^7+y^7}: …
