Value of second derivative at a given point?

ashina14 · Apr 30, 2012

I'm not sure how to evaluate the second derivative

d2y/dx2 = (4(dy/dx) -12x^2 -12y^2(dy/dx)^2)) /(4y^3 - 2x)
AT A GIVEN POINT (1,1). The answer is -14 not sure how they got it.

Final exam this friday would appreciat e answers very much!

hi ashina14!

(try using the X² button just above the Reply box

what is the complete question?

Didn't occur to me that the value of dy/dx would play a role. But it is -1 and now I know I just need to substitute it in this equation wherever appropriate! Stupid question! :P
