Homework Statement
Find y' ...
X^2+y^2=25I understand (I think) implicit differentiation, but there is one issue which hangs me up. I've done this before and this is just a refresher as my last calculus course was four years ago.
From what I understand,
2x+2y(y')=0
But why isn't it 2x+2y(y^2)=0. ?
Sorry for not using the notation format but I'm in a bit of a rush.
