Question

how do I implicitly derive: xy^4+x^2y=x+3y

Answer 1

Well differentiate as usual but when you differentiate y multiply by y prime.

Answer 2

Yes I know how to do implicit differentiation. But I'm just stuck on this problem. I took the derivitive in it's form and now I dont know how to get y' by itseld.

Answer 3

Wow. I have not seen this situation before so I will solve alongside you.

Answer 4

yeah it's ridiculous!

Answer 5

wow. i figured it out. y'=(1-y^4-2xy)/(4xy^3+x^2-3)
