Use implicit differentiation:
3x2y2 - 5sin(xy) + 7x = 25y + 2
Take the derivative of each element with respect to "x":
To find the derivative of 3x2y2, use the product rule (u•v)' = u'v + uv' where u = 3x2 meaning u' = 6x and v = y2 meaning v' = 2y•y' (must use the chain rule). Putting these together, the derivative of 3x2y2 is (6x)(y2) + (3x2)(2y•y') = 6xy2 + 6x2y•y'
To find the derivative of -5sin(xy) we must use the chain rule. It would be -5cos(xy)•(xy)' but to get the derivative of (xy)' we must use the product rule. (xy)' = x'y + xy' = y + xy' meaning the derivative of -5sin(xy) is -5cos(xy)•(y + xy')
The derivative of 7x is 7
The derivative of 25y is 25y'
The derivative of 2 is zero.
Putting these all together we get:
6xy2 + 6x2y•y' - 5cos(xy)•(y + xy') + 7 = 25y'
Now, solve for y':
6xy2 + 6x2y•y' - 5cos(xy)•(y + xy') + 7 = 25y'
6xy2 + 6x2y•y' - 5ycos(xy) - 5xy'cos(xy) + 7 = 25y'
6x2y•y' - 5xy'cos(xy) - 25y' = 5ycos(xy) - 6xy2 - 7
y'(6x2y - 5xcos(xy) - 25) = 5ycos(xy) - 6xy2 - 7
y' = (5ycos(xy) - 6xy2 - 7)/(6x2y - 5xcos(xy) - 25)
