Further differentiation: http://prntscr.com/b7xhui I'm not sure how to solve this question.

hartnn (hartnn):

if y is the function of x, how would you have differentiated y^2 ?

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

\[\frac{ d }{ dy } (y^2) \frac{ dy }{ dx }\] \[= 2y \frac{ dy }{ dx }\] i think?

hartnn (hartnn):

thats absolutely correct :) if N,M are the function of 't', how to differentiate -3N^2 and M^2 ?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

If I differentiate the equation, I get this: \[ - 9{N^2}\dot N + 2M\dot M = 0\]

hartnn (hartnn):

see if you too get that ^^

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

next, it is suffice to substitute N=2, and M=1

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

\[\frac{ d }{ dN }(-3N^3)\frac{ dN }{ dt }+\frac{ d }{ dM }(M^2)\frac{ dM }{ dt }\] \[= -9N^2\frac{ dN }{ dt }+ 2M \frac{ dM }{ dt }\] ohh and then we sub in M = 1 and N = 2.. \[= -36\frac{ dN }{ dt }+ 2\frac{ dM }{ dt }\]

hartnn (hartnn):

that is = 0 right? because derivative of a constant -23 would be 0

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

yes! so then, \[\frac{ dN }{ dt } = 72\frac{ dM }{ dt }\]

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

so c = 72 :D

hartnn (hartnn):

sure?

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

wait no.

hartnn (hartnn):

0 = -36 a + 2b 2b = 36 a ...

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

error. dN/dt = 1/18 (dM/dt)

hartnn (hartnn):

yusss

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

thaankk you both ! ^_^

hartnn (hartnn):

welcome ^_^
