Differentiate : 2y^2 + x^3 = 2xy + 5

Given the equation:


2y^2 +
x^3 = 2xy + 5


We need to find the derivative
y'


We will use implicit
differentiation.


==> 4y*y' + 3x^2 = (2x)'*y +
(2x)*y' + 0


==> 4yy' + 3x^2 = 2y +
2xy'


Now we will combine terms with
y'.


==> 4yy' - 2xy' = 2y -
3x^2


Now we will factor
y'.


==> y'( 4y - 2x) =
2y-3x^2


Now we will divide by
(4y-2x)


==> y' =
(2y-3x^2)/(4y-2x)
