Step 1: Sub expression into itself
y = s i n ( x + t a n ( x + y ) )
Step 2: Implicitly differentiate
d x d y = c o s ( x + t a n ( x + y ) ) ( 1 + s e c 2 ( x + y ) ) ( 1 + d x d y )
Step 3: Rearrange for d x d y
d x d y = − ( s e c 2 ( y + x ) ) ( c o s ( t a n ( y + x ) + x ) − 1 ( s e c 2 ( y + x ) + 1 ) ( c o s ( t a n ( y + x ) + x )
Step 4: y = 0 satisfies the original equation (Notice that y is in [-1,1] as sin can only produce between -1 and 1))
0 = s i n ( p i + t a n ( p i + 0 ) )
Step 5: Plugin x = π and y = 0
d x d y = − ( s e c 2 ( 0 + π ) ) ( c o s ( t a n ( 0 + π ) + π ) − 1 ( s e c 2 ( 0 + π ) + 1 ) ( c o s ( t a n ( 0 + π ) + π )
d x d y = − ( 1 ) ( c o s ( 0 + π ) − 1 ( 1 + 1 ) ( c o s ( 0 + π )
d x d y = − ( 1 ) ( − 1 ) − 1 ( 2 ) ( − 1 )
d x d y = − ( − 2 ) ( − 2 )
d x d y = − 1
Done !
Like \pi, \frac, you should have \ in front of all functions sin, tan, cos, ln, etc. Note that without \, sin, tan are in italic which is for variable. Function names should not be in italic. Comparing \sin x sin x . Note that sin is not in italic and there is a space between sin and x. Now look at sin x s i n x , everything is in italic and stick together. You can see the LaTex codes by placing your mouse cursor on top of formulas. Or click the pull-down menu " ⋯ More" under the answer section and select "Toggle LaTex". You can use \ [ \ ], instead of \ ( \ ) and find that the format is properly down. Use \dfrac so that the nominator and denominator font size are not reduced.
Also -0.92 and -0.77 have only 2 significant figures and not 3. Therefore, I have changed your problem wording.
