Homework Statement
2*y + sin(y) = x^4 + 4(x)^3 + (2(Pi) - 5), show that dy/dx = 16, when x = 1.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
So I implicitly differentiated it to be dy/dx(2 + cos(y)) = 4(x)^3 + 12(x)^2, and I end up with
dy/dx = 16 / (2 + cos (y)) which means that y must be equal to Pi for this to be true, but I do not think this is where I was supposed to go with this problem. Is there a way to factor or substitute out Cos(y) to show that dy/dx = 16, when x = 1?
