You're correct, the answer is C.
Given any function of the form

, then the derivative of y with respect to x (

) is written as:

In which

is any constant, this is called the power rule for differentiation.
For this example we have

, first lets get rid of the quotient and write the expression in the form

:

Now we can directly apply the rule stated at the beginning (in which

):

Note that whenever we differentiate a function, we simply "ignore" the constants (we take them out of the derivative).
Answer:
y"(2, 1) = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Define implicit differentiation
5 - y² = x²
Step 2: Find dy/dx
- Take implicit differentiation: -2yy' = 2x
- Isolate y': y' = 2x/-2y
- Isolate y': y' = -x/y
Step 3: Find d²y/dx²
- Quotient Rule: y'' = [y(-1) - y'(-x)] / y²
- Substitute y': y" = [-y - (-x/y)(-x)] / y²
- Simplify: y" = [-y - x²/y] / y²
- Multiply top/bottom by y: y" = (-y² - x²) / y³
- Factor negative: y" = -(y² + x²) / y³
Step 4: Substitute and Evaluate
y"(2, 1) = -(1² + 2²) / 1³
y"(2, 1) = -(1 + 4) / 1
y"(2, 1) = -5/1
y"(2, 1) = -5
Answer:
90.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Velocity is a time-derivative of displacement or the height, in this case.


At maximum height, the velocity is 0 and the height is 128.
Substitute these values into both equations above,


From the first equation,

Substitute for
.
