Implicit derivative of y^3-xy=6 I know it's 3y^2 *dy/dx ----=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah the first part is right for the second part you need the product rule because you have a product think of it as taking the derivative of \(-xf(x)\) by the product rule you get \(-f(x)-xf'(x)\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but instead of \(f(x)\) you write \(y\) and instead of \(f'(x)\) you write \(y'\) giving \[3y^2y'-y-xy'=0\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then a bit of algebra to solve for \(y'\) and that is the end

Alright thanks, that's exactly what i did
