Find y' given..

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

\[\LARGE y=ln(5x^2+y^2)\]

OpenStudy (kainui):

What's your best guess?

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Wait.. so do it like.. \[\LARGE =\frac{1}{5x^2+y^2}*10x+2yy'\]?

OpenStudy (kainui):

I wouldn't do it this way. I'd exponentiate both sides so you have: \[e^y=5x^2+y^2\] That way you don't have to deal with fractions so much in doing algebra solving for y'.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[y' =\frac{1}{5x^2+y^2}*10x+2yy'\]n is more like it

OpenStudy (kainui):

@satellite73 what?

OpenStudy (kainui):

Following my suggestion...\[e^y*y'=10x+2yy'\]\[y'(e^y-2y)=10x\]\[y'=\frac{ 10x }{ e^y-2y }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[y' = \LARGE =\frac{1}{5x^2+y^2}*(10x+2yy')\]

OpenStudy (kainui):

See none of you other people have found y' though lol.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's just a matter of isolating y'

OpenStudy (loser66):

wonder why everybody help this guy but not help me??

OpenStudy (kainui):

Is your question a simple one about derivatives? =P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Loser66 you're at graduate level, we're not lol

OpenStudy (loser66):

who said that? I am undergraduate student.

OpenStudy (kainui):

@Loser66 What's your question, I don't even see it anywhere.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

probably Advanced Linear Algebra

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

@Kainui I understand what you were doing but it didn't accept the answer >.<

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dy/dx = (10x)/(5x^2+y^2 - 2y) did you have this?

OpenStudy (kainui):

I'm sorry computers are stupid, good luck figuring out how to mold the right answer into the answer it wants.

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Yea, I see where I messed up now Thanks @sourwing and @Kainui :)

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

And agreed @Kainui :)
