Answer

\[y''=\frac{2xy^3-2x^4}{y^5}\]

Work Step by Step

\[x^3-y^3=7\] Differentiate implicitly with respect to $x$ \[3x^2-3y^2(y)'=0\] \[\Rightarrow y'=\frac{3x^2}{3y^2}\] \[\Rightarrow y'=\frac{x^2}{y^2}\;\;\;...(1)\] Differentiating (1) implicitly with respect to $x$ \[\Rightarrow y''=\frac{(2x)y^2-x^2(2y)y'}{y^4}\] Using (1) \[\Rightarrow y''=\frac{(2x)y^2-x^2(2y)\left(\frac{x^2}{y^2}\right)}{y^4}\] \[\Rightarrow y''=\frac{2xy^3-2x^4}{y^5}\] Hence , \[\Rightarrow y''=\frac{2xy^3-2x^4}{y^5}.\]
