Find the second derivative with respect to x

Find the second derivative with respect to y

\frac{d ^{2} y}{d x ^{2}} = \frac{6 y}{x ^{2}}

Calculate

- x^{2} y = - 16

Take the derivative of both sides

\frac{d}{d x} (- x^{2} y) = \frac{d}{d x} (- 16)

Calculate the derivative

More Steps

- 2 x y - x^{2} \frac{d y}{d x} = \frac{d}{d x} (- 16)

Calculate the derivative

- 2 x y - x^{2} \frac{d y}{d x} = 0

Move the expression to the right-hand side and change its sign

- x^{2} \frac{d y}{d x} = 0 + 2 x y

Add the terms

- x^{2} \frac{d y}{d x} = 2 x y

Divide both sides

\frac{- x ^{2} \frac{d y}{d x}}{- x ^{2}} = \frac{2 x y}{- x ^{2}}

Divide the numbers

\frac{d y}{d x} = \frac{2 x y}{- x ^{2}}

Divide the numbers

More Steps

\frac{d y}{d x} = - \frac{2 y}{x}

Take the derivative of both sides

\frac{d}{d x} (\frac{d y}{d x}) = \frac{d}{d x} (- \frac{2 y}{x})

Calculate the derivative

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

Use differentiation rules

\frac{d ^{2} y}{d x ^{2}} = - \frac{\frac{d}{d x} ( 2 y ) \times x - 2 y \times \frac{d}{d x} ( x )}{x ^{2}}

Calculate the derivative

More Steps

\frac{d ^{2} y}{d x ^{2}} = - \frac{2 \frac{d y}{d x} \times x - 2 y \times \frac{d}{d x} ( x )}{x ^{2}}

Use \frac{d}{d x} x^{n} = n x^{n - 1} to find derivative

\frac{d ^{2} y}{d x ^{2}} = - \frac{2 \frac{d y}{d x} \times x - 2 y \times 1}{x ^{2}}

Use the commutative property to reorder the terms

\frac{d ^{2} y}{d x ^{2}} = - \frac{2 x \frac{d y}{d x} - 2 y \times 1}{x ^{2}}

Any expression multiplied by 1 remains the same

\frac{d ^{2} y}{d x ^{2}} = - \frac{2 x \frac{d y}{d x} - 2 y}{x ^{2}}

Use equation \frac{d y}{d x} = - \frac{2 y}{x} to substitute

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