Can anyone help me on this incredibly long problem? ;_; http://i.imgur.com/bCV0P1R.jpg # 36 I swear to god I spend too much time on it and I still haven't gotten an answer. :\ Is there anyway to find the answer in a shorter way?
Hope this helps
omg that looks so beautifully short!! i was wondering if u could post up a better quality pic tho... >< sry if im asking for too much but i cant really see it :<
Hopefully this is a little better. You can ask about any parts you can't see
correct me if im wrong but is this what u did? 1) find the derivative of the whole equation 2.) u simplified it to 2x2yy' = 2 but then... i cant tell what the symbol on the left is on the next line. is it y'?
yes
y'(2x2y)=2 y'=2/(2x2y) Which is 1/(xy)
then you find the derivative of 1/(xy)
to find the derivative of 1/(xy) you have to use the quotient rule.
wait how is y' = 2/(2x2y) = 1/(xy). isn't it 1/(2xy)?
the 2s cancel because they are being multiplied
does just one 2 cancel?
doesnt*
no because if you factor out a two on the bottom you are left with xy not 2xy
(2*x*2*y) = (4*x*y) im sure of that tho...
and wait a minute... ur first step is wrong too... ur suppose to use the product rule to find the derivative of x^(2)y^(2)
i knew that was too short to be true. im sorry but im just really frustrated of this problem. its so long...
You're right, I made a mistake on the first step.
\(\large x^2y^2 - 2x = 3 \) implicit diff both sides \(\large x^2 (2yy') + y^2(2x) - 2 = 0 \) solve y' \(\large y' = \frac{1-xy^2}{x^2y} \)
quotient rule and find y''
okay. ty. :'<
np :) u wil have to plug product rule again, but if you're careful ,u wil end wid something simple
or simplify a bit before taking second deriv \(\large y' = \frac{1-xy^2}{x^2y} \) \(\large y' = \frac{1}{x^2y} - \frac{y}{x} \) \(\large y^{'} = x^{-2} y^{-1} - yx^{-1}\)
