Find y'' by implicit differentiation

Find y'' by implicit differentiation
x^4+y^4=1
i found that y'=-x^3/y^3
y''=[(y^3)(-3x^2)-(-x^3)(3y^2)(y')]/(y^3)^2
y''=[-3x^2(y^3)-(-x^3)(3y^2)(-x^3/y^3)]/y^6
then i am stuck...please help...thanks

You really hsould learn latex.

Anyway, you already have the second derivative.. simplifying isn't important.

 

[gillgill]

can anybody teach me latex then?

Theres a readme on it in one of the forums, i think its general physics.

Just read over quotations from those that use it.

I don't think you need to simplify anything...
