tell me the reason why not D?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
im not sure, how do i know if it is positive or negative?
OpenStudy (loser66):
@cwrw238 what do you think?
OpenStudy (loser66):
give me second, I need look up at the note before giving out the logic. :) I took the course long time ago. :)

hahah its fine(:
OpenStudy (cwrw238):
yes been a while for me too
y^2 - x^2 = c^2 is a hyperbola
OpenStudy (cwrw238):
- i remember that!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so i was correct? (:
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh wait no

if we differentiate 2y* dy/dx - 2x = 0
OpenStudy (cwrw238):
dy/dx = x/y
OpenStudy (loser66):
Nope, the d.e should be \(\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{-x}{y}\)
OpenStudy (loser66):
That is the correct form of the graph.

OpenStudy (cwrw238):
yea - right
OpenStudy (loser66):
your graph is circles as shown, hence it can't be y^2 -x^2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So it would have to be positive? which would be D?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@cwrw238
OpenStudy (cwrw238):
yes
note that the lines have a negative slope in the first quadrant which shows that the derivative is -x/y
so it has to be a circle

D is correct
OpenStudy (cwrw238):
OK?
OpenStudy (cwrw238):
differentiating y^2 + x^2 = c^2 gives dy/dx = -x/y
OpenStudy (cwrw238):
I remember drawing those derivative graphs a while ago - what a pain!
