Alright, the instructions are to find dy/dx by implicit differentiation for the following problems:
(x^2)y+x(y^2)=3x
When I work this problem, I get y'=3/(2x+2y) The back of the book says y'=(3-2xy-y^2/(x^2+2xy)
(x^3)+[(x^2)y]+4y^2=6
Once again, I get y'=(-3x^2)/(2x+8y) when the book says I should be getting y'=[-x(3x+2y)]/(x^2+8y)
and one more example: (x^2)(y^2)+xsiny=4
Book says y'=(-2x(y^2)-siny)/(2(x^2)y+xcosy)
Help would be greatly appreciated. Since I'm consistantly wrong, I think maybe I'm just starting off with the wrong concepts. If you do answer my question, could you please try to explain each step? I don't just want the answers; I'm trying really hard to learn this.
Thanks!
