Problem

After differentiating the equation x2+y2=25x^{2}+y^{2}=25 implicitly, a student obtained dydx=−2x2y.\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{-2x}{2y}. Using this (unsimplified) form of dydx\dfrac{dy}{dx}, what is the value of d2ydx2\displaystyle\frac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}} at the point (4,3)(4,3) on the curve? (a) −259-\dfrac{25}{9} (b) 2527\dfrac{25}{27} (c) −2527-\dfrac{25}{27} (d) −2725-\dfrac{27}{25}
