need help with implicit differentiation

Here is the question:


Find dy/dx using implicit differentiation.

(3x^2+8y)/(4x+5y^2)=-22


Here is the answer I got: (6*x^2 + 15*x*y^2 - 16*y)/(15*x^2*y - 16*x + 20*y^2)

I know I need to First clear the denominator to get 3x2+8y=−22(4x+5y^2)

I agree with your answer. You also could have used the quotient rule on the original equation. The following graph shows that it is possible to solve the original equation for y in terms of x and find dy/dx explicitly. desmos.com/calculator/kmd8mcg0oa
