dy/dx=(3y^2-5x^4-4x^3y)/(x^4 -6xy+3y^2)dydx=3y25x44x3yx46xy+3y2

Explanation:

This can be by implicit differentiation. Rewrite it as x^5+x^4 y= 3xy^2 - y^3x5+x4y=3xy2y3. Now differentiate term wise, 5x^4 +x^4 dy/dx + 4x^3 y= 3y^2+6xydy/dx-3y^2 dy/dx5x4+x4dydx+4x3y=3y2+6xydydx3y2dydx

(x^4 -6xy+3y^2)dy/dx=3y^2-5x^4-4x^3y(x46xy+3y2)dydx=3y25x44x3y

dy/dx=(3y^2-5x^4-4x^3y)/(x^4 -6xy+3y^2)dydx=3y25x44x3yx46xy+3y2
