Determine (dy/dx) using implicit differentiation.

cos(X^2Y^2) = x

I'm really confused what to do now..i think the next steps are:

d/dx [cos(X^2*Y^2)] = d/dx [x]
= -sin(X^2*Y^2)* ((X^2*2Y dy/dx) + (Y^2*2X)) = 1
= -2YX^2 sin(X^2*Y^2) dy/dx + -2XY^2sin(X^2*Y^2) = 1
= -2YX^2 sin(X^2*Y^2) dy/dx = 1 + -2XY^2sin(X^2*Y^2)
= dy/dx = (1 + -2XY^2sin(X^2*Y^2))/ (-2YX^2 sin(X^2*Y^2))

Can someone tell me if this is correct?

cos(x^2 y^2)=x

\frac{d}{dx}[cos(x^2 y^2)]=\frac{d}{dx}[x]

-sin(x^2 y^2) [\frac{d}{dx}(x^2 y^2)] = 1

-sin(x^2 y^2) [2y^2x + 2x^2y\frac{dy}{dx}] = 1

-sin(x^2 y^2)2y^2x -sin(x^2 y^2)2x^2y\frac{dy}{dx} = 1

-sin(x^2 y^2)2x^2y\frac{dy}{dx} = 1+sin(x^2 y^2)2y^2x

\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1+sin(x^2 y^2)2y^2x}{-sin(x^2 y^2)2x^2y}
 
cool thanks
 
atqamar, please note that one should not provide full solutions in the homework forums, but rather should offer guidance and hints as to how to proceed.
 
Thread 'Use greedy vertex coloring algorithm to prove the upper bound of χ'
Hi! I am struggling with the exercise I mentioned under "Homework statement". The exercise is about a specific "greedy vertex coloring algorithm". One definition (which matches what my book uses) can be found here: https://people.cs.uchicago.edu/~laci/HANDOUTS/greedycoloring.pdf Here is also a screenshot of the relevant parts of the linked PDF, i.e. the def. of the algorithm: Sadly I don't have much to show as far as a solution attempt goes, as I am stuck on how to proceed. I thought...
