need help with second derivatives of calculus problems
\[2y-x+xy=4\]
\[\frac{ dy }{ dx }=\frac{ 1-y }{ 2+x }\] I know this is the first derivative
I need help finding the second derivative
so, apply quotient rule
or if you want to simplify things,
2y' -1 +xy' +y = 0 take the derivative here itself!
ok give me a second, nice to see you again, I have been very busy lately that is why I have not been around
no problem, good to see you too :)
i would suggest applying derivative here 2y' -1 +xy' +y = 0 instead of quotient rule...
yes I was using dy/dx notation and it was getting messy
2y"+y'+y"+y'=0 correct
3y"+2y'=0
I sub for y' correct
wait, how did you differentiate xy' ?
who knows I don't really use prime notation on these, good chance I messed it up
ok, for xy' first we diff. x and keep y' as it is so, just y' then we diff. y' and keep x as it is so, xy'' so, derivative of xy' will be y' + xy'' got this ?
so it should be 2y"+y'+y"x+y'=0
2y"+y'+xy"+y' = 0 same thing , right ?
yes, but did you get how ?
yes sorry looking at my paper so y"=(-2y')/(2+x) now I just sub for y' correct
yes, correct
cool thank you. I will try to switch notation (makes the problem easier to deal with)
welcome ^_^
