    Implicit Differentiation: Finding dy/dt for x^2+3y^2+2y=10

    Ugh I can't believe it, it's x^2 in the text but I wrote x^3 on my sheet. Thanks for the help (and the tip on writing the exponents didn't know that), I can't believe I spent so much time looking my problem over and didn't see that. :blushing:

    Implicit Differentiation: Finding dy/dt for x^2+3y^2+2y=10

    I've been working on this problem for a while and can't see my mistake, in the book the answer is stated as being 3, but I end up getting 13.5. Homework Statement If x^2+3y^2+2y = 10; dx/dt = 2, x=3 and y = -1 find dy/dt The Attempt at a Solution d/dt[x^2+3y^2+2y] = d/dt[10] 3x^2 (dx/dt) +...

    Solving Limits: Uncovering the Answers

    I can not believe I did not think of adding the fractions together. And I found out why I couldn't get the answer for the first problem. On my sheet I forgot to write the square on the denominator. And I wasn't thinking when I typed the problem. When I saw that you wrote (x+1)/(x-2) I went...
