    Man dun tell me you forgot how implicit differentiation works.

    Yes I understand the power rule, but you can't find the derivative of an eqation with multiple variables unless you do partial derivatives. Since you didn't do partial deriviatives, you need to do implicit differentiation.


    An example of implicit dif.

    x2 + y2 = 25 .
    Differentiate both sides of the equation, getting

    D ( x2 + y2 ) = D ( 25 ) ,

    D ( x2 ) + D ( y2 ) = D ( 25 ) ,

    2x + 2 y y' = 0 ,

    2 y y' = - 2x ,

    y' = - 2x/2y

    y' = - x/y

    Don't jack.

    Ahh I see I made the mistake of reading it in explicit form. I am really off after taking the PSAT today:p. No matter I shall make it explicit.
    -x + 4y - 7x +8y + (-3x) - 2y
    10y=-11x
    y=-11/10x
    y'=-11/10dx/dy

    you yanks and your crazy maths (or is it math) words always make me laugh

    it's the same with English language, it always seems to be some scientific method with lots of fancy names

    the subjects already gave me a brain hemorrhage, I don't know why it's made harder with all that jargon

    Nope. :p

    In the second line, you changed the -7x to a +7x.

    The correct answer would be: 10y - 11x

    No need to even study for the PSAT, it doesnt count for anything and is really easy.

    I love how Aussie never seems to take part in the conversations he starts. He's like the internet's most subtle troll.
