Find where the slope of the curve is defined: x^2y-xy^2=4

You do the implcit differentation, then solve for y' and check where this is defined. 
In your case: Differentiate implicitly: 2xy + x²y' - y² - x*2yy' = 0 
Solve for y': y'(x²-2xy) +2xy - y² = 0 
y' = (2xy-y²) / (x²-2xy) 
Check where defined: y' is not defined if the denominator becomes zero, i.e. 
x² - 2xy = 0 x(x - 2y) = 0 
This has formal solutions x=0 and y=x/2. Now we check whether these values are possible for the initially given definition of y: 
0^2*y - 0*y^2 =? 4 0 =? 4 
This is impossible, hence the function is not defined for 0, and we can disregard this. 
x^2*(x/2) - x(x/2)^2 =? 4 x^3/2 - x^3/4 = 4 x^3/4 = 4 x^3=16 x^3 = 16 x = cubicroot(16) 
This is a possible value for y, so we have a point where y is defined, but not y'. 
The solution to all of it is hence D - { cubicroot(16) }, where D is the domain of y (which nobody has asked for in this example :-). 
(Actually, the check whether 0 is in D is superfluous: If you write as solution D - { 0, cubicroot(16) }, this is also correct - only it so happens that 0 is not in D, so the set difference cannot take it out of there ...). 
If someone asks for that D, you have to solve the definition for y and find that domain - I don't know of any [general] way to find the domain without solving for the explicit function).

In an experiment, the one variable that is changed by the person doing the experiment is called the Question 2 options: controll
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer: Independent Variable

Step-by-step explanation:

The independent (or manipulated) variable is something that the experimenter purposely changes or varies over the course of the investigation. The dependent (or responding) variable is the one that is observed and likely changes in response to the independent variable.

Y-2 = -3(x + 6), write the equation of the line in slope intercept form.
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

y = -3x - 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Point-slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Given: y - 2 = -3(x + 6)

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

To write the equation in slope-intercept form, we need to know the slope(m) and the y-intercept(b). By looking at the given equation, we can see that the slope is -3. We are also given the value of one point: (-6, 2).

To find the y-intercept, input the given values of the slope and the point into the equation format and solve for b:

y = mx + b

2 = -3(-6) + b

2 = 18 + b

Subtract 18 from both sides of the equation to isolate b:

2 - 18 = 18 - 18 + b

-16 = b

The y-intercept is -16.

Now that we know the slope and the y-intercept, we can write the equation:

y = -3x - 16
