Find {eq}y'' {/eq} for {eq}x^2 + 6 x y - 2 y^2 = 3 {/eq}.
Question:
Find {eq}y'' {/eq} for {eq}x^2 + 6 x y - 2 y^2 = 3 {/eq}.
Implicit Differentiation:
Implicit differentiation is a special type of differentiation method. It is same as chain rule. It is special case of differentiation. If a function is in the form {eq}F(g(x)) {/eq}, then its derivative will be derivative of outer function {eq}F {/eq} multiplied by the derivative of inner function {eq}g(x) {/eq} i.e. final derivative will be {eq}F'(g(x))\times g'(x) {/eq}

{eq}\displaystyle x^2+6xy-2y^2=3 {/eq}
Differentiating we get:
{eq}\displaystyle 2x+6y+6x\frac{dy}{dx}-4y\frac{dy}{dx}=0 {/eq}
