In Exercises 41-48, find dy/dx
44. 5x 4/5 + 10y 6/5 = 15
5(4/5) x^(-1/5) + 10(6/5) y^(1/5) (dy/dx) = 0
4 x^(-1/5) + 12 y^(1/5) (dy/dx) = 0
dy/dx = -4 x^(-1/5) / 12 y^(1/5) = -1/[3 (xy)^(1/5)]

54. a. By differentiating x 2 - y2 =1 implicitly, show that dy/dx = x/y
b. Then show that d2y/dx2 = - 1/y3.
(a) 2x - 2y(dy/dx) = 0
dy/dx = 2x/2y = x/y
(b) d^2y/dx^2 = [y - x(dy/dx)]/y^2
= [y - x(x/y)]/y^2
= [y^2 - x^2]/y^3
= -1/(y^3)
