A magnetic flux contour line CCC within a specialized superconducting alloy is modeled by the equation
y2+60x−x2y=k,y>0 y^2 + 60x - x^2 y = k, \quad y > 0 y2+60x−x2y=k,y>0where kkk is a constant and xxx and yyy represent spatial coordinates measured in micrometers.
Find dydx\dfrac{dy}{dx}dxdy in terms of xxx and yyy.
The point P(p,10)P(p, 10)P(p,10), where ppp is a constant, lies on CCC. Given that PPP is the minimum turning point on CCC,
find
(i) the value of ppp
(ii) the value of kkk
