The Chain Rule & Implicit Differentiation · Challenge problem

For x2>4yx^2 > 4y, let u(x,y)u(x,y) be the larger root of the quadratic t2−xt+y=0t^2 - xt + y = 0, so uu is a smooth function of the coefficients. Using implicit differentiation, find ∂2u∂x ∂y\dfrac{\partial^2 u}{\partial x\,\partial y} at (x,y)=(5,6)(x, y) = (5, 6).
