Wondering if my answer is right (which is probably isn't... lol)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

xy + 8x + 8y = 8 a) Differentiate both sides with respect to x to complete the following (_____)y'+y+____=0 b) Solve for y ' in terms of x and y. y'=___ c) (c) Calculate dy/dx at the point (4,-2).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my answers: a) (x) ... (8yy') B) y'=-8-y/x+8y c)1/2

hartnn (hartnn):

d/dx of y is just y'

hartnn (hartnn):

so i think , other 2 will also be incorrect....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just subbed my points into my b answer. a is the one that confuses me ..

hartnn (hartnn):

d/dx (8y) is just 8y'

hartnn (hartnn):

xy + 8x + 8y = 8 xy'+y + 8 + 8y' = 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i see what i did wrong there.

hartnn (hartnn):

B) y'=(-8-y)/(x+8)

hartnn (hartnn):

got that ^ ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yah i didn't have b right because i had a messed up

hartnn (hartnn):

what about c ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so now i just sub my points into b?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i still get a half.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hartnn (hartnn):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
