4x^2 + 5xy - y^2 = 6
Implicitly differentiating both sides,
4(2x) + 5(x y' + y) - 2yy' = 0
where y' = dy/dx
8x + 5xy' +5y -2yy' = 0
combining y' terms
y' (5x-2y) +8x +5y = 0
y'(5x-2y) = -(8x+5y)
dy/dx = -(8x+5y)/(5x-2y)
or
dy/dx = (8x+5y)/(2y-5x)
Can you provide more information? Where would the fire be? What type of fire?(wildfire, controlled fire) What is the purpose of the fire?
Answer:
x-intercepts: (2,0), (4,0)
y-intercepts: (0,-8)
Explanation:
To find the x intercept(s), you must compute where y=0. So solve 0= -x^2 + 6x - 8. So, the x intercepts are: (2,0) and (4,0) since the solutions to the mentioned equation are x=2 and x=4. To find the y intercept(s) compute what is y when x=0. In this case, when x=0, y=-8. So the only y intercept is (0,-8).
