what is the derivative of x^2+4y^2=7+3xy?

OpenStudy (jessiegonzales):

are u trying to solve the curve given?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (jessiegonzales):

are there any options?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

In this equation, we see x and y terms are mixed together So we need implicit differentiation. That means the "regular" derivative rules apply but we multiply by dy/dx after every y term derivative. So starting from x^2, what would derivative of that be?

i actually figured it out. but thank you :)

4y^2+x^2_3xy-7=0 dy/dx=-x'/y'
