Homework Statement



2x^{3}-3x^{2}y+2xy^{2}-y^{3}=2

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



6x^{2}-(6xy+3x^{2}y')+(2y^{2}+4xyy')-3y^{2}y'=0

y'=\frac{-6x^{2}+6xy-2y^{2}}{-3x^{2}y+4xy-3y^{2}}


My text's solution is the same answer but with every every term having the opposite sign.

I don't see my error and I'm trying to determine why my answer is incorrect.

How did I not catch that?:redface:

Thanks!
 
Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
