Can you take dy/dx?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i did take dy/dx. i got 2x+ 2y dy/dx=0 that led to -2x/2y=-1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i dont know how to do it the 2nd time
OpenStudy (anonymous):
It's correct dy/dx = - x/y
OpenStudy (anonymous):
hmm k i get -y + xdy/dx/y^2

(y + xdy/dx)/y^2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wait is the answer 3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Correct!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
but its not any of the answer choices
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the choices are
a)-3
b)1
c)2
d) -1
e)-2

Hold, I think you have wrong sign!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
= 2 - 2 ( -1) / 2^2
= 4/4 = 1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
hmm k. i hope its correct
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Math has the numbers, it's NOT hope!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
You're correct at derivative, but somehow you miscalculated at last step!

k. thanks!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it was wrong :(
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y'=(-x/y) then y''=(-y+xy')/y^2 then y''=(-y-x^2/y)/y^2=-(x^2+y^2)/y^3=-8/y^3=-1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@mahmit2012's result is right!
I have worked out on it to check the plug in :
y" = ( -y + xy' ) / y^2
= -2 +2 ( -1) / 4 = - 4/ 4 = -1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes but i wanted to show in this case (circle equation)we have y''=-R^2/y^3 R is radiant of circle
