Answer

equation: $y=±\sqrt{64-x^{2}}$ derivatives: $y'= -\frac{x}{y}$

Work Step by Step

1. Rewrite the equation in terms of x: $x^{2} + y^{2}=64$ $y^{2} = 64-x^{2}$ $y=±\sqrt{64-x^{2}}$ 2. Find the derivative of y=-$\sqrt{64-x^{2}}$ and y=$\sqrt{64-x^{2}}$ $y'= \frac{d}{dx}(-\sqrt{64-x^{2}})$ $y'= \frac{x}{\sqrt{64-x^{2}}}$ $y'= \frac{d}{dx}(-\sqrt{64-x^{2}})$ $y'= -\frac{x}{\sqrt{64-x^{2}}}$ 3. Find the derivative of: $x^{2}+y^{2}=64$ $\frac{d}{dx}(x^2)+\frac{d}{dx}(y^2)=\frac{d}{dx}(64)$ $2x+2y(\frac{dy}{dx})=0$ $2y(\frac{dy}{dx})=-2x$ $\frac{dy}{dx}=-\frac{x}{y}$ 4. The derivatives are equivalent 5. Graph:
