what is dx/dy of 2x-5x^3y^2+4y=4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the middle term 5x^3 and y^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so then you have to do the product rule of that middle section

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so fg'+f'g

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2x-[5x^3*dy/dx(2y)+(15x^2)(y^2)]+dy/dx(4y)=4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then you have to isolate dy/dx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I was screwing up the 2nd part of the problem. I wasn't doing the y^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you good now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think so. Thanks a bunch. I should have done this 25 years ago when I knew this stuff.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea just isolate the dy/dx, implicit differentiation isnt too bad. You should be fine now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you
