dy/dx = y' = 5y²/(1 – 5xy)
Differentiate using the quotient rule
d²y/dx² = y'' = [(1-5xy)10yy' + 5y²(5y + 5xy')]/(1 – 5xy)²
Substitute y' = [5y²/(1 – 5xy)]
y'' = [(1 – 5xy)10y[5y²/(1 – 5xy)] + 5y²(5y + 5x[5y²/(1 – 5xy)])]/(1 – 5xy)²
Multiply numerator and denominator by (1 – 5xy)
y'' = [5y²(1 – 5xy)10y + 5y²(5y(1 – 5xy) + 5x(5y²))]/(1 – 5xy)³
Use the common factor 5y² to factor the numerator
y'' = 5y²[10y(1 – 5xy) + 5y(1 – 5xy) + 25xy²)]/(1 – 5xy)³
Further simplifications give us
y'' = 5y²[(15y(1 – 5xy) + 25xy²)]/(1 – 5xy)³ = 5y²(15y – 75xy² + 25xy²)/(1 – 5xy)³ = 5y²(15y – 50xy²)/(1 – 5xy)³
Factor the common 5y factor out of the parenthesis in the numerator to give
25y³(3 – 10xy)/(1 – 5xy)³
Answer
d²y/dx² = 25y³(3 – 10xy)/(1 – 5xy)³
