Implicit differentiation help

the original equation was: \[find \frac{ dy }{ dx }: \frac{ \cos(x^2y^2) }{ \sin(x^2y^2)}=2x\] I simplified it to\[\cot(x^2y^2)=2\] I did a chain rule and product rule to get: \[-\csc^2(x^2y^2)(2x^2yy'+2y^2x)=2\] I'm not sure if I did all this right but I don't know where to go from here

myininaya (myininaya):

You mean this (when you say you simplified it to): \[(\cot(x^2y^2))'=2\] But anyways distribute the -csc^2(x^2y^2) as a first step

myininaya (myininaya):

After you use the distribute property. Put all your terms that y' on one side and all your terms that don't have y' on the opposite side
