The Attempt at a Solution
Okay so first I found the first derivative using implicit differentiation and I got:
[itex]y'=\frac{-y}{x+9e^{y}}[/itex]
then, I found the second derivative to be:
[itex]y''=\frac{y(1+9e^{y}*y')}{(x+9e^{y})^{2}}-\frac{y'}{x+9e^{y}}[/itex]
the website won't let me enter y' so I substituted it into the second derivative and then set x=0 and I got:
[itex]y''=\frac{2y-y^{2}}{9e^{2y}}[/itex]
I'm not quite sure if I'm doing this right so I'd like a second opinion. I only have one attempt left and I don't want to get it wrong!
