Okay, so what do you get when you differentiate the first equation?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2x/64
OpenStudy (anonymous):
It should still be an equation.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2x/64+(2yy')/25
OpenStudy (anonymous):
=1

\[\frac d {dx} 1 = 1
\]Oh?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no it wasn't
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the problem was changed on me so now its If \frac(x^2)(25) + \frac (y^2)(16) = 1 and y( 1 ) = 3.92 , find y'( 1 ) by implicit differentiation
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Okay, so what is your equation after differentiating.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2x/25+2yy'/16=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):
now, what is \(x\)?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
You need to plug in the values of \(x\) and \(y\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2/25+2(4.84)y'/16=0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Now solve for \(y'\).

I'm not going to get a medal, am I?

\( \dfrac{x^2}{25} + \dfrac {y^2}{16} = 1 \)
\( \dfrac{2x}{25} + \dfrac{2yy'}{16} = 0 \)
\( \dfrac{2(1)}{25} + \dfrac{2(3.92)y'}{16} = 0 \)
\( \dfrac{2(3.92)y'}{16} = -\dfrac{2}{25} \)
\( y' = -\dfrac{2(16)}{25(2)(3.92) } \)
\( y' = -\dfrac{8}{49 } \)
