Question

Simple derivative question.

Answer 1

I assume you implicitly differentiate and substitute in x=0 ? You'll just have an equation in terms of y then?

Or am I doing something wrong?

Answer 2

Yah that's strange, seems like they would want you to evaluate this at some particular y'(x,y) since it's going to depend on both variables :d weird

Answer 3

But ya that sounds right,
implicit, then 0 all your x's, and simplify

Getting stuck on differentiating any of the pieces? :o

Answer 4

No I can differentiate it find. Just stuck on the actual understanding of the question.

Answer 5

Possible to get the y value maybe?

Answer 6

Oh oh yes, it looks like we can get the y-coordinate that corresponds to x=0 from the original expression!

Answer 7

I think so at least, it looks like a lot of stuff is going to cancel out.

Answer 8

Really? Well we then get ln(y)+y=y/2 right?

Answer 9

y/1 on the right side

Answer 10

oooooooooooo. The y's cancel.

Answer 11

ooo they so sneaky :D

Answer 12

oooooooooooo. The y's cancel.

Answer 13

Wow that's clever :P .

Answer 14

Thanks!
