Would it be 1/2(xy)^-1/2 multiplied by 1 and dy/dx. Thanks

It looks like you are trying to use the chain rule so you are on the right track. What's d/dx of xy? BTW, so far, this isn't implicit differentiation.

what do u mean it isn't implicit differentiation?

Dick · Oct 29, 2007

It's just differentiation. Implicit differentiation is where you take d/dx of an equation and then solve for dy/dx. There's no equation yet. And you haven't answered my question.
