asked 11/08/21need 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)

(3x2+8y)/(4x+5y2)=-22; d/dx((3x2+8y)/(4x+5y2)) = 0;
(6x + 8y')(4x + 5y2) - (4 +10yy')((3x2 + 8y) = 0;
y'(32x + 40y2- 30x2y - 80y2) = 12x2 + 32y - 24x2 - 30xy2;
y' = (16y - 6x2 - 15xy2)/(16x - 20y2 - 15x2y)

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/kmd8mcg0oa11/08/21
