Differential Equations, implicit equation solving

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on deriving the differential equation from the implicit solution –4xy³ + 4xy³sin(x) = –1. The correct approach involves differentiating the given implicit equation with respect to x to find dy/dx in the form of f(x, y). The initial attempts included incorrect formulations, but the correct method requires applying implicit differentiation to yield the required equation.

Homework Statement


(b) Find the differential equation for which –4xy3 + 4xy3sin(x) = –1 is an implicit solution on the interval (0, pi/2). Write your answer in the form dy/dx = f (x,y) where f (x, y) depends on both x and y.



The Attempt at a Solution


I'm not too sure on how to go about solving for the differential equation after been given the implicit form. So farI got

dy/dx= cos(x)-4/(-3y3)
which I don't think is right, and


I'm not sure where to start?

(4xy3)(sin(x)-1)=-1

4y3=-1/[x(sin(x)-1]
and then do I take the derivative of this ^ to get my answer?

But the question is not even asking you to solve the equation you get; you only need to get an equation whose implicit solution is the given function. If you differentiate both sides of the given equation with respect to x (as I assume you did), you should get the required answer.
