Question:

In Problem 11, the derivative y9 was found to be

y' = -x/y

when x2 + y2 = 4.

(a) Take the implicit derivative of the equation for y9 to show that

y" = -y 9+ xy'/y2

(b) Substitute -x/y for y' in the expression for y" in part (a) and simplify to show that 

y" = - (x2 + y2)/y3

(c) Does y" = -4/y3? Why or why not?
