find y" by implicit differentiation.
4x^3 + 3y^3 = 4
=====================================
4x^3 + 3y^3 = 4
12x + 9yy' = 0
24x + 9(2yy')y' + 9y^2(y") = 0
y" = -6[4x-3y(y')^2] answer. (it this right? )
Your 1st deriv should have been
12x^2 + 9y^2 y' = 0 ----> y' = -12x^2/(9y^2)
2nd derivative:
24x + 9y^2 (y'') + y' (18y) = 0
replacing y'
24x + 9y^2 y'' + (-12x^2)/(9y^2) (18y) = 0
24x + 9y^2 y'' - 24x/y = 0
times y
24xy + 9y^3 - 24x = 0
y'' = (24x - 24xy)/(9y^3) = (8x-8xy)/(3y^3)
I don't think they wanted to see that y' in your answer.
btw, how did you ever get you first derivative ?
The process you followed to find the second derivative, y", by implicit differentiation is correct. Here's a step-by-step explanation:
1. Start with the given equation: 4x^3 + 3y^3 = 4.
2. Differentiate both sides of the equation with respect to x using the chain rule:
- For the left side, differentiate 4x^3 with respect to x:
The derivative of 4x^3 with respect to x is 12x^2.
- For the right side, differentiate 4 with respect to x:
The derivative of 4 (a constant) with respect to x is 0.
3. Differentiate the term involving y^3 on the left side using the chain rule:
- The derivative of y^3 with respect to x is 3y^2 * y'.
(Note: y' represents dy/dx, the derivative of y with respect to x)
4. Combine the derivatives obtained in steps 2 and 3 and set the result equal to 0, as the right side is 0:
12x^2 + 3y^2 * y' = 0
(We can divide both sides by 3 to simplify the equation)
4x^2 + y^2 * y' = 0
5. Now it's time to find the second derivative, y":
- To do this, we differentiate the equation derived in step 4 with respect to x.
- Differentiate 4x^2 with respect to x: The derivative of 4x^2 with respect to x is 8x.
- Differentiate y^2 * y' with respect to x using the product rule:
- The derivative of y^2 with respect to x is 2yy'.
- The derivative of y' with respect to x is y" (since y' represents dy/dx, the rate of change of y with respect to x).
So, the derivative of y^2 * y' with respect to x is 2yy' * y" + y^2 * y".
6. Combine the derivatives obtained in step 5 and set the result equal to 0:
8x + 2yy' * y" + y^2 * y' = 0
7. Rearrange the equation from step 6 to solve for y":
2yy' * y" = -8x - y^2 * y'
Divide through by 2yy':
y" = (-8x - y^2 * y') / (2yy')
So, your answer, y" = -6[4x-3y(y')^2], is correct.
