Answer: 55% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

% decrease is calculated by = [ (New Value - Old Value) / Old Value × 100

63 - 140 = -77

-77/140 = -0.55

- 0.55 x 100

= -55%

Answer:

55% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percent decrease

Take the original price and subtract the new price

140-63 =77

Divide by the original price

77/140

.55

Multiply by 100 to get the percent

.55*100 = 55%

55% decrease since the price got lower

Finding Derivatives Implicity In Exercise, find dy/dx implicity. x2 - 3 ln y + y2 = 10

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

$\frac{dy}{dx}=-\frac{2xy}{2y^2-3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

$x^2-3lny+y^2=0$

Differentiate w.r.t x

$2x-\frac{3}{y}\frac{dy}{dx}+2y\frac{dy}{dx}=0$

By using formula

$\frac{dx^n}{dx}=nx^{n-1}$

$\frac{d(lnx)}{dx}=\frac{1}{x}$

$\frac{dy^n}{dx}=ny^{n-1}\frac{dy}{dx}$

$\frac{dy}{dx}(-\frac{3}{y}+2y)+2x=0$

$\frac{dy}{dx}(-\frac{3}{y}+2y)=-2x$

$\frac{dy}{dx}=-\frac{2x}{-\frac{3}{y}+2y}$

$\frac{dy}{dx}=-\frac{2xy}{2y^2-3}$

Hence, the derivative of function

$\frac{dy}{dx}=-\frac{2xy}{2y^2-3}$
