Homework Statement
Determine y'' when 5x^2 + 3y^2 = 4.
The Attempt at a Solution
So I found the first derivative using the power rule and chain rule,
10x + 6yy' = 0
Which I then solved for y',
y' = -10x/6y = -5x/3y
Next I found the second derivative using quotient rule,
y'' = (-15y + 15xy')/(3y)^2
This is the part where I am lost, since all the multiple choice answers involve no y' nor is there a x.
I don't know how to get rid of the x and the y' in the equation. Any help will be appreciated as to simplifying the equation even further and as to how.
