Find 
y''
 by implicit differentiation.
7x2 + y2 = 5

We are tasked with finding the second derivative \( y'' \) by implicit differentiation for the equation:

\[
7x^2 + y^2 = 5
\]

### Step 1: Differentiate both sides with respect to \( x \)

\[
\frac{d}{dx}(7x^2 + y^2) = \frac{d}{dx}(5)
\]

The right-hand side is constant, so its derivative is 0. Now differentiate each term on the left-hand side:

- For \( 7x^2 \), the derivative is \( 14x \).
- For \( y^2 \), apply the chain rule: \( \frac{d}{dx}(y^2) = 2y \frac{dy}{dx} \), which gives \( 2y y' \).

So the first derivative equation becomes:

\[
14x + 2y \frac{dy}{dx} = 0
\]

### Step 2: Solve for \( y' \)

\[
2y \frac{dy}{dx} = -14x
\]

\[
\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{y'}{2y} = -\frac{7x}{y}
\]

Thus, the first derivative \( y' \) is:

\[
y' = -\frac{7x}{y}
\]

### Step 3: Differentiate again to find \( y'' \)

Now we differentiate \( y' = -\frac{7x}{y} \) implicitly to find \( y'' \).

\[
\frac{d}{dx} \left( -\frac{7x}{y} \right)
\]

Apply the quotient rule: \( \frac{d}{dx} \left( \frac{u}{v} \right) = \frac{v u' - u v'}{v^2} \), where \( u = -7x \) and \( v = y \).

- The derivative of \( u = -7x \) is \( u' = -7 \).
- The derivative of \( v = y \) is \( v' = y' = -\frac{7x}{y} \).

Substituting these into the quotient rule:

\[
y'' = \frac{y(-7) - (-7x)(-\frac{7x}{y})}{y^2}
\]

Simplifying the expression:

\[
y'' = \frac{-7y - 49x^2/y}{y^2}
\]

\[
y'' = \frac{-7y^2 - 49x^2}{y^3}
\]

Thus, the second derivative \( y'' \) is:

\[
y'' = \frac{-7y^2 - 49x^2}{y^3}
\]

### Summary:
The second derivative \( y'' \) is:

\[
y'' = \frac{-7y^2 - 49x^2}{y^3}
\]
