I'm in need of MAJOR help.. I have a test tomorrow in calc 1 for engineers and I'm so lost! Find d^2y/dx^2 a). sinx+x^2y=1 b). e^(2y)+x=y PLEASE help explain how to do these

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When you take the derivative of a y term, multiply by dy/dx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cosx+2x*dy/dx=0?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

close. you actually have to use the product rule for the x^2y part

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^2 is one function and y is the other

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cos x + 2xy + x² dy/dx = 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so whats the next step, take the derivative of that?
