Question 987918: Find the second derivative of y from the equation 4x^2+8y^2=36.
Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
\ =\ 4x^2\ +\ 8y^2\ =\ 36)
is not a function. If you graph the ellipse, it fails the vertical line test. So I presume what you really mean is:
\ =\ 4x^2\ +\ 8y^2)
Because when considering the expression as a function of 
, any expression involving only 
is considered a constant. This becomes a simple application of the power rule.
