Question

dy/dx of xy^2+4y-5x^2
(implicit differentation) plz help and show work !!!

Answer 1

There is no equality sign.... xy^2+4y-5x^2 ... = 0 ?

Answer 2

ya i think so

Answer 3

Basically for implicit differentiation, every time you take the derivative of y add a dy/dx after it.

Ex) 3x^2 + 2y^3 = 0
6x + 6y^2 dy/dx = 0

Now we have to solve for dy/dx though

6y^2 dy/dx = -6x
dy/dx = -6x/6y^2
dy/dx = -x/y^2

Did this help?

Answer 4

sorta..not really tho...

Answer 5

What specifically are you confused about?
