Im having trouble with an implicit differentiation problem. Okay, x^3y^3-y=x I started off with: x^3(3y^2y')+y^3(3x^2)-y'=1.. That would be correct, right? Also, with the x on the other side of the equal sign would be one throughout the whole thing?
That seems ok so far.
I hope you don't mean to think that x=1.
I thought we take the derivative of both sides? Like d|dx(x)=1?
Or do I move that x to the lefthand side of the equation?
No, that's fine. What you have is correct so far, but you still need to solve that equation for y'
The answer I got is y'=(1-(3x^2)y^3)\(3x^3y^2-1)
That's what I get too; looks like you know what you're doing here.
Thanks! Wait, d|dxsquareroot(xy) is ((x)(y))^1/2= 1/2(xy'+y)^-1/2?
Close. There's chain rule and product rule going on here. \[\large \frac{d}{dx} \sqrt{xy}=\frac{1}{2}(xy)^{-1/2} \cdot (xy'+y).\]
Ohhh! Yeah! Thanks! :D
