Q.Show that $\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{y}{x}$ in the following, where $a$ and $p$ are constants: $\cos^{-1}\dfrac{7x^4+5y^4}{7x^4-5y^4}=\tan^{-1}a$

Differentiate both sides of $\sqrt x+\sqrt y=\sqrt a$ implicitly with respect to $x$.

$\sqrt x+\sqrt y=\sqrt a$

Differentiating w.r.t. $x$ (note $\sqrt a$ is a constant):

$\frac{1}{2\sqrt x}+\frac{1}{2\sqrt y}\cdot\frac{dy}{dx}=0$ …

Differentiate $\log(x+y)=2xy$ implicitly and evaluate at $x=0$ (where $y=1$).

At $x=0$: $\log(0+y)=0\Rightarrow y=1$.

Differentiating both sides w.r.t. $x$: $\dfrac{1+y'}{x+y}=2(y+xy')$.

…

Differentiate implicitly using the product rule on both terms.

$x\sin y + y\sin x = 0$

Differentiating both sides w.r.t. $x$:

$\sin y + x\cos y\cdot\dfrac{dy}{dx} + \dfrac{dy}{dx}\sin x + y\cos x = 0$

$\dfrac{dy}{dx}\big(x\cos y + \sin x\big) = -(\sin y + y\cos x)$
