Find y '' by implicit diferentiation sqrt of x + sqrt of y = 1
\[\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{y} = 1\]
\[\frac{1}{2} x^{-\frac{1}{2}} + \frac{1}{2} y^{- \frac{1}{2}} \frac{dy}{dx} = 0 \]
\[\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{x}} + \frac{1}{2\sqrt{y}} \frac{dy}{dx} =0 \]
\[\frac{dy}{dx} = - \sqrt{ \frac{y}{x}}\]
y do u have to multiply that by dy/dx
\[\frac{d}{dx} [ \frac{dy}{dx} ] = - \frac{d}{dx} [ (\frac{y}{x})^{\frac{1}{2}}] \]
because it's a chain rule.
were u isolating dy/dx to get -sqrt y/x?
Yeah
can u plz show the steps to how u got taht....
i get confused if steps r skipped
@kira u have dy/dx is positive whereas elec has it negaitve
Oops... I left out -ve sign when I was typing for the screenshot... Gomen...
im sorry but the math looks realllllly confusing...esp the last step where u were solving d^2y/dx^2
do u mind explaing wat u were tryin to do
Here's an errata, hope it doesn't contain any mistakes. I'm using quotient rule
