find dy/dx xy^2=16

OpenStudy (kira_yamato):

Let's use implicit differentiation: x(2y)(y') + y^2 = 16 2xy(y') = 16 - y^2 dy/dx = (16 - y^2)/2xy

OpenStudy (abmon98):

shouldnt it be -y^2/2xy

OpenStudy (kira_yamato):

Sorry yes.

OpenStudy (abmon98):

its okay and thank you :D

OpenStudy (kira_yamato):

By the way you may simplify to -y/2x

OpenStudy (abmon98):

y*-y/2*x*y

OpenStudy (abmon98):

i was just bout to write that

OpenStudy (abmon98):

find dy/dx of y(x+y)=4

OpenStudy (abmon98):

\[ yx+y^2=0\] \[dy/dx1*x+y+dy/dx2y=0\] \[-y/x+2y\]

OpenStudy (kira_yamato):

\[\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{y}{x+2y}\]
