Suppose xand y are both differentiable functions of t and are related by the equation

 

x^3-3y=y^2+1/x+y-2

 

[MATH] x^3 - 3y =y^2 +\frac{1}{x+y-2}[/math]

 

Find the rate at which x is changing when x=2 and y=1, if y is decreasing at 3 units per second.

 

I am getting -9/14 but computer is saying that it is incorrect.

 

plz help me out

 

Tidied it up a bit - is that equation correct? You must get used to putting more brackets in - or use latex to make it clear.

 

What have you got so far?
