Find dy/dx x^3+y^3=2xy

Problem

x3+y3=2*x*y

Solution

1. Differentiate both sides with respect to x treating y as a function of x and applying the chain rule to the y3 term.

d(x3)/d(x)+d(y3)/d(x)=(d(2)*x*y)/d(x)

2. Apply the power rule to the left side and the product rule to the right side.

3*x2+3*y2d(y)/d(x)=2*y+2*xd(y)/d(x)

3. Group the terms containing d(y)/d(x) on one side of the equation and the remaining terms on the other side.

3*y2d(y)/d(x)−2*xd(y)/d(x)=2*y−3*x2

4. Factor out the common d(y)/d(x) term.

d(y)/d(x)*(3*y2−2*x)=2*y−3*x2

5. Solve for the derivative by dividing both sides by the expression in the parentheses.

d(y)/d(x)=(2*y−3*x2)/(3*y2−2*x)

Final Answer

d(y)/d(x)=(2*y−3*x2)/(3*y2−2*x)
