Implicit differentiation: x^3+y^3-6xy=0 Im a little confuse on the second part. So, I took the derivative of all the terms, but I'm stuck at the product rule of (6xy): 3x^2+3y^2y'-(6xy'+6y)=0 -3x^2 -3x^2 +3y^2y'-(6xy'+6y)=-3x^2 Does that negative sign distrebute to (6x^2+6y), which make that plus sign negative? -> 3y^2y'-6x^2-6y=-3x^2 Thus making me add it to both sides...

Opps! -6xy'-6y not -6x^2-6y**

Yes, you must share the negativity.

You can think of factoring out the -6 then d/dx the (xy).
