Taking 
and differentiating both sides with respect to 
yields
![\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}\bigg[3x^2+y^2\bigg]=\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}\bigg[7\bigg]\implies 6x+2y\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=0](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdfrac%7B%5Cmathrm%20d%7D%7B%5Cmathrm%20dx%7D%5Cbigg%5B3x%5E2%2By%5E2%5Cbigg%5D%3D%5Cdfrac%7B%5Cmathrm%20d%7D%7B%5Cmathrm%20dx%7D%5Cbigg%5B7%5Cbigg%5D%5Cimplies%206x%2B2y%5Cdfrac%7B%5Cmathrm%20dy%7D%7B%5Cmathrm%20dx%7D%3D0)
Solving for the first derivative, we have
Differentiating again gives
