To find $y'$ (the first derivative of $y$ with respect to $x$) and $y''$ (the second derivative), we start from the implicit equation:

$x^2 - xy + y^2 = 3$

Step 1: Differentiate Implicitly

Differentiating both sides with respect to $x$:

$\frac{d}{dx}(x^2) - \frac{d}{dx}(xy) + \frac{d}{dx}(y^2) = \frac{d}{dx}(3)$

This gives us:

$2x - (y + x\frac{dy}{dx}) + 2y\frac{dy}{dx} = 0$

Step 2: Rearrange to Solve for $y'$

Rearranging the equation:

$2x - y = x\frac{dy}{dx} - 2y\frac{dy}{dx}$

$2x - y = (x - 2y)\frac{dy}{dx}$

Now, solve for $\frac{dy}{dx}$:

$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2x - y}{x - 2y}$

Step 3: Find $y''$

Now we need to differentiate $y'$ to find $y''$. Using the quotient rule:

$y'' = \frac{(x - 2y)\frac{d}{dx}(2x - y) - (2x - y)\frac{d}{dx}(x - 2y)}{(x - 2y)^2}$

Calculating $\frac{d}{dx}(2x - y)$ and $\frac{d}{dx}(x - 2y)$:

$\frac{d}{dx}(2x - y) = 2 - \frac{dy}{dx}$

$\frac{d}{dx}(x - 2y) = 1 - 2\frac{dy}{dx}$

Substituting these back into the equation for $y''$:

$y'' = \frac{(x - 2y)(2 - \frac{dy}{dx}) - (2x - y)(1 - 2\frac{dy}{dx})}{(x - 2y)^2}$

Now substitute $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2x - y}{x - 2y}$ into the expression for $y''$.

Final Expressions

Thus, we have:

1. $y' = \frac{2x - y}{x - 2y}$
2. $y''$ can be expressed in terms of $x$ and $y$ using the values found.

Summary

To summarize, the derivatives are:

• First derivative: $y' = \frac{2x - y}{x - 2y}$
• Second derivative: Substitute $y'$ into the derived expression to find $y''$.
