Implicit differentiation part 2
\[9x^2+y^2=9\]
What I have so far: \[18x+2yy'=0\] \[2yy'=-18x\] \[y'=\frac{ -9x }{ y }\] Using quotient rule: \[y'' = - 9 \times \frac{ y \times 1 - x \times y' }{ y^2 }=-9\times \frac{ y-x(\frac{ -9x }{ y }) }{ y^2 }\] \[= - 9 \times \frac{ y^2+9x^2 }{ x^3 }\]
Now, I just need to convert that into an answer.
Oh second derivative? Interestinggg :)
yep
Looks good up to this point,\[y'' = - 9 \times \frac{ y \times 1 - x \times y' }{ y^2 }=-9\times \frac{ y-x(\frac{ -9x }{ y }) }{ y^2 }\]I'm trying to figure out what happened on the next line.. hmm
Oh the denominator is y^3, small typo, ok great
opps, yea it is y^3
Do you know how to simplify that further?
the book does it as: \[-9 \times \frac{ 9 }{ y^3 }\]
Ooo you see it, don't you? hehe
\[\large\rm y''=-9\frac{\color{orangered}{y^2+9x^2}}{y^3}\]And our original expression is given to be\[\large\rm \color{orangered}{9x^2+y^2=9}\]
You didn't reduce the 9 correctly, don't worry about needing to do that anyway.
oh i see it now
You're just replacing the numerator by 9, because that's what it is equivalent to.
\[y^2+9x^2=9\]
Just a not on the reduction though,\[\large\rm 9x^2+y^2=9\qquad\to\qquad x^2+\frac19y^2=1\]It doesn't quite work out the way you would like.
a note*
Okay, I understand it fully now
I figured I had to simplify that part, but didn't see that the last piece was the original equation itself y^2+9x^2 = 9
yay good job
thanks :)
