SUMMARY

The discussion centers on solving the implicit equation 3x^2 + 8xy - 3y^2 = 1 to find the function y = f(x). The user has derived the solutions for x as x1, x2 = (4x ± √(25x^2 + 3)) / 3. A participant suggests that the next step involves differentiating the equation to find dy/dx, leading to the expression 6xdx + 8(xdy + ydx) - 6ydy = 0, which must be solved for dy/dx.

I have a questions:

Given is the equation 3x^2 +8xy-3y^2 = 1
I know have to find the function x -> y:=f(x) which is implicit defined by the equation above.
I have solved the question for x1,x2 = (4x+/- sqr(25x^2+3)) / 3

My question what do I have to do now?

I am sorry but don't you need to look for [tex]\frac {dy}{dx}[/tex] first by differentiating your given equation ?

This would be something like [tex]6xdx + 8 (xdy + ydx) - 6ydy = 0[/tex] Then solve for [tex]\frac {dy}{dx}[/tex].
