Find dx/dy 3x^2-y^2=1

$3 x^{2} - y^{2} = 1$

Step 1

Differentiate both sides of the equation.

$\frac{d}{d y} (3 x^{2} - y^{2}) = \frac{d}{d y} (1)$

Step 2

Differentiate the left side of the equation.

By the Sum Rule, the derivative of $3 x^{2} - y^{2}$ with respect to $y$ is $\frac{d}{d y} [3 x^{2}] + \frac{d}{d y} [- y^{2}]$ .

$\frac{d}{d y} [3 x^{2}] + \frac{d}{d y} [- y^{2}]$

Evaluate $\frac{d}{d y} [3 x^{2}]$ .

Since $3$ is constant with respect to $y$ , the derivative of $3 x^{2}$ with respect to $y$ is $3 \frac{d}{d y} [x^{2}]$ .

$3 \frac{d}{d y} [x^{2}] + \frac{d}{d y} [- y^{2}]$

Differentiate using the chain rule, which states that $\frac{d}{d y} [f (g (y))]$ is $f' (g (y)) g' (y)$ where $f (y) = y^{2}$ and $g (y) = x$ .

To apply the Chain Rule, set $u$ as $x$ .

$3 (\frac{d}{d u} [u^{2}] \frac{d}{d y} [x]) + \frac{d}{d y} [- y^{2}]$

Differentiate using the Power Rule which states that $\frac{d}{d u} [u^{n}]$ is $n u^{n - 1}$ where $n = 2$ .

$3 (2 u \frac{d}{d y} [x]) + \frac{d}{d y} [- y^{2}]$

Replace all occurrences of $u$ with $x$ .

$3 (2 x \frac{d}{d y} [x]) + \frac{d}{d y} [- y^{2}]$

Rewrite $\frac{d}{d y} [x]$ as $x'$ .

$3 (2 x x') + \frac{d}{d y} [- y^{2}]$

Multiply $2$ by $3$ .

$6 x x' + \frac{d}{d y} [- y^{2}]$

Evaluate $\frac{d}{d y} [- y^{2}]$ .

Since $- 1$ is constant with respect to $y$ , the derivative of $- y^{2}$ with respect to $y$ is $- \frac{d}{d y} [y^{2}]$ .

$6 x x' - \frac{d}{d y} [y^{2}]$

Differentiate using the Power Rule which states that $\frac{d}{d y} [y^{n}]$ is $n y^{n - 1}$ where $n = 2$ .

$6 x x' - (2 y)$

Multiply $2$ by $- 1$ .

$6 x x' - 2 y$

Step 3

Since $1$ is constant with respect to $y$ , the derivative of $1$ with respect to $y$ is $0$ .

$0$

Step 4

Reform the equation by setting the left side equal to the right side.

$6 x x' - 2 y = 0$

Step 5

Solve for $x'$ .

Add $2 y$ to both sides of the equation.

$6 x x' = 2 y$

Divide each term in $6 x x' = 2 y$ by $6 x$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $6 x x' = 2 y$ by $6 x$ .

$\frac{6 x x'}{6 x} = \frac{2 y}{6 x}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $6$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{6 x x'}{6 x} = \frac{2 y}{6 x}$

Rewrite the expression.

$\frac{x x'}{x} = \frac{2 y}{6 x}$

Cancel the common factor of $x$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{x x'}{x} = \frac{2 y}{6 x}$

Divide $x'$ by $1$ .

$x' = \frac{2 y}{6 x}$

Simplify the right side.

Cancel the common factor of $2$ and $6$ .

Factor $2$ out of $2 y$ .

$x' = \frac{2 (y)}{6 x}$

Cancel the common factors.

Factor $2$ out of $6 x$ .

$x' = \frac{2 (y)}{2 (3 x)}$

Cancel the common factor.

$x' = \frac{2 y}{2 (3 x)}$

Rewrite the expression.

$x' = \frac{y}{3 x}$

Step 6

Replace $x'$ with $\frac{d x}{d y}$ .

$\frac{d x}{d y} = \frac{y}{3 x}$
