thanks so much! i'm solving a problem using implicit differentiation, and i needed to simplify my answer. I couldn't remember all of the canceling rules though. Thanks for your help!

@gabby8292 NO YOU CANNOT CANCEL 3x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if my answer was y'=[ ysin(xy)]/[xsin(xy)+ (.5)squareroot y'] I can't cancel the sin(xy) correct?

hartnn (hartnn):

no, you cannot. thats the simplest form.

hartnn (hartnn):

\(\huge \frac{a}{a+b}\ne \frac{1}{b}\)
