Short way to imlicit differentiation, First write the equation in the form f ( x , y ) = 0 Then d x d y = − ( d y d f ) ( d x d f )
(Here df/dx is partial differentiation meaning differentiation of f taking y as constant & the same goes for df/dy as well.)
Hence from our function, 3 y 2 + 2 x 3 − 9 x = 0 d x d y = − 6 y 6 x 2 − 9 = 3 / 2 y − x 2 / y
@Marvin Kalngan I edited the problem statement for clarity. Can you review it for accuracy?
3 y 2 + 2 x 3 = 9 x
By implicit differentiation, we have
6 y d x d y + 6 x 2 = 9
6 y d x d y = 9 − 6 x 2
Dividing both sides by 6 y , we have
d x d y = 6 y 9 − 6 x 2 = 2 y 3 − y x 2

3 y 2 + 2 x 3 = 9 x d x d 3 y 2 + d x d 2 x 3 = d x d 9 x d x d 6 y + 6 x 2 = 9 d x d 6 y = 9 − 6 x 2 d x d = 6 y ( 9 − 6 x 2 ) d x d = 6 y 9 − 6 y 6 x 2 d x d = 2 y 3 − y x 2
