Ok, I need help again. I can not seem to figure out what to do when I need to use implict differentiation. My problem seems to come from trying to get the derivitive of a variable raise to a variable(sometimes divided by a variable) Excentially the same thing I struggled with above. Can someone show me how I would go about differentiating this implicitly:
e^(x/y) = 3x - y
I know to find the derivitive of both sides. I can't figure out the e^(x/y) because I need to use the quotient and chain rule somehow.
the right side is:
3-dy/dx
From there i think I would somehow get dy/dx all on one side to solve. Can someone please do this whole thing out so I can see all the steps and figure out what steps I am missing along the way. I have been working on my HW for 6 hours and can't seem to understand anything.
