Given

sin(xy) + x² + y³ = c

differentiating both sides with respect to x would give

d/dx [sin(xy)] + d/dx[x²] + d/dx[y³] = 0

By the chain and power rules,

cos(xy) d/dx[xy] + 2x + 3y² dy/dx = 0

By the product rule,

cos(xy) (x dy/dx + y) + 2x + 3y² dy/dx = 0

Solve for dy/dx :

x cos(xy) dy/dx + y cos(xy) + 2x + 3y² dy/dx = 0

(x cos(xy) + 3y²) dy/dx = - (y cos(xy) + 2x)

dy/dx = - (y cos(xy) + 2x) / (x cos(xy) + 3y²)
