Differentiating and equation that contains an unknown $y$?

45 Views Asked by At

I am given the following in order to expand a taylor series:

$$y''=3+x-y^2$$ $$y(0)=1$$ $$y'(0)= -2$$

What would the result of differentiating the first function be? I am not sure what to do with the $y$?

Does it become, $$y'''= 1 + (y')^2$$ Or would we be using partial differentials?

It is $$y'''=1-2yy'$$ by the chain rule.
