You do the implcit differentation, then solve for y' and check where this is defined. 
In your case: Differentiate implicitly: 2xy + x²y' - y² - x*2yy' = 0 
Solve for y': y'(x²-2xy) +2xy - y² = 0 
y' = (2xy-y²) / (x²-2xy) 
Check where defined: y' is not defined if the denominator becomes zero, i.e. 
x² - 2xy = 0 x(x - 2y) = 0 
This has formal solutions x=0 and y=x/2. Now we check whether these values are possible for the initially given definition of y: 
0^2*y - 0*y^2 =? 4 0 =? 4 
This is impossible, hence the function is not defined for 0, and we can disregard this. 
x^2*(x/2) - x(x/2)^2 =? 4 x^3/2 - x^3/4 = 4 x^3/4 = 4 x^3=16 x^3 = 16 x = cubicroot(16) 
This is a possible value for y, so we have a point where y is defined, but not y'. 
The solution to all of it is hence D - { cubicroot(16) }, where D is the domain of y (which nobody has asked for in this example :-). 
(Actually, the check whether 0 is in D is superfluous: If you write as solution D - { 0, cubicroot(16) }, this is also correct - only it so happens that 0 is not in D, so the set difference cannot take it out of there ...). 
If someone asks for that D, you have to solve the definition for y and find that domain - I don't know of any [general] way to find the domain without solving for the explicit function).

Which value of x would make FG II BC?<br><br> 1<br> 3<br> 6<br> 9
Veseljchak [2.6K]
 x - 1        x + 1
------ = --------------
x + 3       x + 6

if x = 9
8/ 12 = 10/15

12 (10) = 8(15)
120 = 120

so 
answer is 9 (last choice)

Initially, there were only 197 weeds at a park. The weeds grew at a rate of 25% each week. The following function represents the
Anarel [89]

Answer:

  D.)  f(x) = 197(1.03)^(7x); grows at a rate of approximately 3% daily

Step-by-step explanation:

The growth equation can be written in terms of a rate compounded 7 times per week:

  f(x) = 197×1.25^x = 197×(1.25^(1/7))^(7x)

  f(x) ≈ 197×1.0324^(7x) . . . . x represents weeks, a daily growth factor is shown

The daily growth rate as a percentage is the difference between the daily growth factor and 1, expressed as a percentage:

  (1.0324 -1) × 100% = 3.24%

The best match is choice D:

  f(x) ≈ 197(1.03^(7x)); grows approximately 3% daily

quester [9]
Isolating 2abCos(c) on one side of the equation and using the given values of a, b and c we can find the answer to this question as shown below:

a^{2} + b^{2} -2ab*cos(C)=c^{2}  \\  \\ &#10;2ab *cos(C)=  a^{2} + b^{2} - c^{2}  \\  \\ &#10;2ab *cos(C)=2^{2} + 2^{2}- 1^{2} \\  \\ &#10;2ab*cos(C) = 7

Rudiy27
P(z < x) = 0.6064 - 0.5 = 0.1064

From the normal distribution table
P(z < 0.27) = 0.1064

Therefore the z-score is 0.27
