did you need help with the derivative part?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I need help with all of it lol I'd like a solution and then an explanation as to how you got there
OpenStudy (perl):
x^2+2xy+3y^2=4
2x + 2( 1*y + x* y ' ) + 3* 2y * y ' = 0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
would it not be \[2x + (2x)(1. \frac{ dy }{ dx }) + (y)(2) + 6y (\frac{ dy }{ dx }) ? \]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and the 4 becomes a 0

???
OpenStudy (perl):
i factored out the 2 before doing product rule on x*y
OpenStudy (perl):
2 ( x * y )
OpenStudy (perl):
now use the product rule on x * y
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I don't know how

show me and then explain
OpenStudy (perl):
(u * v) ' = u ' * v + u * v '
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sorry I don't know how to do it like that. we write it like \[u \frac{ dv }{ dx } + v \frac{ du }{ dx }\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Could you do it like that? The other way makes no sense to me
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Sorry this is really important. I need help
