Implicit differentiation of 1/x +1/y=5 y(4)= 4/19<br> y'(4)=?

Aneli [31]

$\frac{1}{x} +\frac{1}{y} = 5\\\\x^{-1}+y^{-1}=5\\$

Above, I changed the fraction form of x and y into exponential form so it is easier to see the differentiation. Now, we can differentiate:

$-1x^{-2}+-1y^{-2}\frac{dy}{dx}=5\\\\\frac{-1}{x^2}-\frac{1}{y^2}\frac{dy}{dx}=5\\\\-\frac{1}{y^2}\frac{dy}{dx}=5+\frac{1}{x^2}\\\\\frac{dy}{dx}=-5y^2-\frac{y^2}{x^2}$

Now that we have dy/dx, we can plug in the x, which is 4, and the y, which is 4/19. We know these values of x and y because your question stated y(4) = 4/19.

$\frac{dy}{dx}=-5(\frac{4}{19})^2-\frac{(\frac{4}{19})^2}{(4)^2}\\\\\frac{dy}{dx}=-5(\frac{16}{361})-\frac{(\frac{16}{361})}{16}\\\\\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{-80}{361}-\frac{1}{361}\\\\\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{-81}{361}$

Answer:

11 ≤ n

Explanation:

$\frac{66}{6} = 11$

More than indicates the minimum value, so you use the greater than or equal to.

The above answer is written in reverse, which the exact same result.

The sequence an = 8, 13, 18, 23, ... is the same as the sequence a1 = 8, an = an-1 + 5.

harkovskaia [24]

Actually, this answer would be true. Why?

The first equation is: a(sub <em>n</em>) = 8, 13, 18, 23

The second is: a(sub 1)=8 ; a(sub <em>n</em>)= a(sub <em>n</em>-1)+5
if you wish to find the second term, plug two into the equation for <em /><em>n</em>
8+5=13
to find the third, plug the second term, 13, in for <em>n.</em>
13+5=18.

Hope this helped! I know it's a bit on the late side, but at least you can get the general idea!
