Find dy/dx given that y² =x(3-x)². State the values of x for which dy/dx is: (a) zero (b) infinite. answer to (a) ± (3/2√x-(3/2)√x) answer to (b) is 1 HI CAN YOU SHOW ME STEP BY STEP HOW TO GET X=± (3/2√x-(3/2)√x). AS AM GETTING A DIFFERENT ANSWER (x^2=9/12x) PS and part b how do i get the 1 thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and so on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks just one question what i have done is this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(3x^2-12x+9)/2(x(3-x))^1/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and then we simplify rational functions, am i on the right track?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hold on ! let me see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why are you doing this step?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have differentiated the function y² =x(3-x)² using implicit differentiation to get

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh~ i see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2ydy/dx=(3x^2-12x+9)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we then equate dy/dx=0 and solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

remembering to put the 2 in the denominator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(3x^2-12x+9)/2(x(3-x))^1/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

also remember that y² =x(3-x)² square root to find y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct me if am wrong thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let me think for a while....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have made a mistake the denominator should be

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(3x^2-12x+9)/2(x^1/2(3-x)) the square root of x not (3-x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

implicit way

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think i have got it :-)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think this question is not good to use implicit way. so ,you can see the file(1).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

check if this is correct we will have (-3/2√x)(x-1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then when you simplify you get the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry,my file(10.1) is wrong ,but the file(1) is correct.....so,now, i will rewrite implicit way.....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here is the file (10.1)fixed

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry i don't get how you got the denominator
