To find ( y'' ) for the given curve at ( y = 0 ), we first need to find ( y' ) and then differentiate it again.
Given the equation ( \ln(x) + y = \ln(x^2) - y^2 ), differentiate both sides with respect to ( x ) to find ( y' ):
[ \frac{d}{dx} (\ln(x) + y) = \frac{d}{dx} (\ln(x^2) - y^2) ]
[ \frac{1}{x} + y' = \frac{2x}{x^2} - 2yy' ]
[ y' = \frac{2x}{x^2} - 2yy' - \frac{1}{x} ]
Now, we substitute ( y = 0 ) into the equation:
[ y' = \frac{2x}{x^2} - 2 \cdot 0 \cdot y' - \frac{1}{x} ]
[ y' = \frac{2}{x} - \frac{1}{x} ]
[ y' = \frac{1}{x} ]
Now, differentiate ( y' ) with respect to ( x ) to find ( y'' ):
[ \frac{d}{dx} \left( \frac{1}{x} \right) = -\frac{1}{x^2} ]
Thus, ( y'' = -\frac{1}{x^2} ).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.

- How do you determine whether the function #f(x)= sinx-cosx# is concave up or concave down and its intervals?
- How do you find the x coordinates of all points of inflection, final all discontinuities, and find the open intervals of concavity for #y=2x^2+4x+4#?
- If # f(x) = ( x^3 )/( x^2 - 25 )#, what are the points of inflection, concavity and critical points?
