Correct answer: B
Step-by-step Solution:
-
Understand the Implicit Equation and the Given Point The function is defined implicitly by the equation . We are given a point on this function: when , the corresponding value is .
First, let's verify that this point satisfies the equation: The point indeed lies on the curve.
-
Find the First Derivative () We differentiate the given equation implicitly with respect to : Factor out : Solve for :
-
Find the Second Derivative () Now, we differentiate the expression for with respect to using the chain rule. It's easier to write .
Now, substitute the expression for we found in Step 2:
-
Evaluate the Second Derivative at the Given Point We need to find . We use the corresponding value of . Substitute into the expression for :
First, calculate the term in the denominator's parenthesis:
Now substitute this back into the expression for :
-
Simplify the Result We can simplify the fraction. Note that and .
This matches option B.
Conclusion
The second derivative at the given point is . Comparing this with the options provided, the correct option is B.
