if x^3+y^3=9 and dx/dy=4, find dy/dt when x=2

OpenStudy (mtalhahassan2):

did i do it right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there is something wrong in your statement upto y=1 you are correct \[3x^2\frac{ dx }{ dt }+3y^2 \frac{ dy }{ dt }=0\] \[\frac{ \frac{ dy }{ dt } }{ \frac{ dx }{ dt } }=-\frac{ x^2 }{ y^2 }\] \[\frac{ dy }{ dx }=-\frac{ 2^2 }{ 1^2 }=-4\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh sorry idid wrong \[actually ~i~should~find~\frac{ dx }{ dy }=-\frac{ y^2 }{ x^2 }=-\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }\]

OpenStudy (mtalhahassan2):

wait where you getting -1/4 from is it not be -4 because dy/dx is 4

OpenStudy (misty1212):

HI!

OpenStudy (misty1212):

\[x^3+y^3=9\] right?

OpenStudy (misty1212):

so \[3x^2+3y^2y'=0\\ y'=-\frac{x^2}{y^2}\]

OpenStudy (misty1212):

oh doe, i just repeated what @surjithayer said word for word

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

this question has no meaning unless the relationship of y or x with t is defined

OpenStudy (mtalhahassan2):

@misty1212 i got this question upto that point but know what we have to do
