1. x³y³ = 3xy
LHS: d(x³y³)/dx = y³[d(x³)/dx] + x³[d(y³)/dx] = y³(3x²) + x³(3y²)(dy/dx) = 3x²y³ + 3x³y²(dy/dx)
RHS: d(3xy)/dx = 3y +3x(dy/dx)
So 3x²y³ + 3x³y²(dy/dx) = 3y + 3x(dy/dx)
Now divide both sides by 3 to get
x²y³ + x³y²(dy/dx) = y + x(dy/dx)
Subtract x²y³ + x(dy/dx) from both sides, then factor the LHS to get
(x³y² – x)(dy/dx) = y – x²y³
Divide both side by (x³y² – x) and our final answer is
dy/dx = (y – x²y³)/(x³y² – x)
which agrees with the answer given in the posted question
2. x²+2y³+3xy = 2x²+y³ +3y²
Subtract 2x²+y³ to get
y³ – x² + 3xy = 3y² (not a necessary step, but it saves a bit of work later)
LHS: d(y³–x²+3xy)/dx = 3y²(dy/dx) – 2x +3y +3x(dy/dx) = (3y² +3x)(dy/dx) + 3y – 2x
RHS: d(3y²)/dx = 6y(dy/dx)
So (3y² +3x)(dy/dx) + 3y – 2x = 6y(dy/dx)
Subtract 3y – 2x + 6y(dy/dx) from both sides, then factor the LHS to get
(3y² + 3x – 6y)(dy/dx) = 2x – 3y
Divide both side by (3y² +3x – 6y) and our final answer is
dy/dx = (2x – 3y)/(3y² + 3x – 6y)
which does not agree with the answer given in the posted question.
