I think it is mixed of vdu/dx-udv/dx / v^2 and implicit after that by substituting y with the given equation but then I also got stuck the mark scheme not giving the final form of the expression

Oh wait the final expression is given itself in the question, the gradient. I'll check my work

Oh yes, I got the answer, first do what I said and then get dy/dx as subject after implicit differentiation, then simplify it, you get to the point where you have to multiply by (1+x)^(1/2) / (1+x)^(1/2) then you will see difference of two squares, there bingo good luck

is there anyway you can give me a detail explanation. where did the implicit differentiation come from?

differentiate both sides, one by quotient and the other half by implicit because it contains y^2

Hi. I need to know when we use vector cross product and what the reason for using it is. What is the outcome of doing vector product?
Thanks in advance.

im not too strong with the vectors but the cross product gives us a vector which is perpendicular to the plane or several vectors on the plane
