How do you find dy/dx for #y + 2x - 3xy^3 = 4#? Calculus Basic Differentiation Rules Implicit Differentiation 1 Answer GiĆ³ May 26, 2015 You must remember that #y# is a function of #x# so that to take into account this you have to include #(dy)/(dx)# when deriving any #y# in your function, as: #1(dy)/(dx)+2-3y^3-9xy^2(dy)/(dx)=0# Collecting #(dy)/(dx)#: #(dy)/(dx)=(3y^3-2)/(1-9xy^2)# Answer link Related questions What is implicit differentiation?
