implicit differentiation

OpenStudy (photon336):

\[x^{2}-xy+y^{2} = 27\] \[(d/dx)x^{2}-xy+y^{2} = (d/dx)27\] \[2x-xy'+y+2y' = 0\] \[-y'(x-2y)+(2x+y) = 0\] \[\frac{ (2x+y) }{ (x-2y) } = y'\]

OpenStudy (photon336):

my final answer is wrong btw

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

\[\dfrac{d}{dx} y^2 = 2 y y'\]

OpenStudy (photon336):

\[2x-xy'+y+2yy' = 0\]

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

y

OpenStudy (photon336):

unless.. we take -x as u and v as y u = -x du = -1 v = y dv = y' -xy'-y

OpenStudy (photon336):

I'm also really bad when it comes to negatives terms..

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

\[\checkmark\]

OpenStudy (photon336):

okay cool.

OpenStudy (photon336):

lol accidently deleted my response

OpenStudy (photon336):

so how would I group the terms properly? @IrishBoy123

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

i'd first take my time.... i think we had \((x^{2}-xy+y^{2} = 27)' \implies 2x - y - x y' + 2 y y' = 0\) so \( y' ( 2 y- x ) =y - 2x\) etc

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

so \( \dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{y - 2x}{2y - x} \) from there, the idea that \(p(x) = \frac{y}{x}\) makes sense in terms of trying to grab a solution

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

did that make sense???? cos you can really branch out \[f(x,y) = x^{2}-xy+y^{2} = 27\] \[f_x = 2x - y \] \[f_y = -x+2y \] \[ \dfrac{dy}{dx} = -\dfrac{f_x}{f_y} = \dfrac{2x - y}{-x+2y} \]
