New Problem:X^3+Y^3=125 dy/dx =? a. -x/y b.-x/5y c. y/x d. x/(y-5) e. x/y Well, I thought it was -(x/y)^2, but it's not on there. I think that it should be negative, and there should not be a 5, which leaves me -x/y, which is x^2+y^2=C a. [8,10) b. (2,10) c. [2,10] d. [2,10) e. (2,10] halps would be appreciated <3 Edit: What we got is that since [8,10) has a continuous slope of 1, it's right.   | ||

if the sharp point from the absolute value is included in your set of points, then no if not, then yes | ||

man, that's a *precalc* question? we never covered that until calculus. in fact, i never even heard the word "derivative" until i opened a calc book. | ||

x^3+y^3=125 Differentiation both sides by x: 3x^2+d(y^3)/dx=0 Since y is a function of x, and using chain rule: d(y^3)/dx = 3y^2 x dy/dx So you get: 3x^2 + 3y^2 x dy/dx = 0 And rearranging: dy/dx = -3x^2/3y^2 [Edit] I'm a retard -_- | ||

If memory serves schools in Taiwan covered power rule to implicit differentiation in precalc, at least that's what I recall of what my friends/parents/family's talks of how they had it tough :p EDIT - It'd be hilarious when OP posts to say how he isn't at Taiwan though.  | ||

I'm taking "PreCalculus". It's the course name, but the book has PreCalc and Calc I so lol tt;; anyways, how can you go from -(x/y)^2 to -x/y? ?:/ | ||

Today my math teacher tells me that "abcde" is a choice when you cant find the answer. --; | ||

And man I hate it when math questions have "None of the above" as a choice. | ||
