How to Solve Implicit Differentiation Problems with Tan(xy)=xy?

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around the implicit differentiation of the equation tan(xy) = xy with respect to x and y. The original poster expresses frustration over obtaining an indefinite answer while attempting to solve the problem. After some back-and-forth, the poster ultimately resolves the issue independently and retracts their request for help. The conversation highlights the common challenges faced in implicit differentiation problems. This exchange underscores the importance of persistence in tackling complex calculus concepts.

okay, so i have the problem tan(xy)=xy and i am told to implicitly differentiate in terms of x and y. when i do, i keep getting an indefinite answer. i need help because i know that's not right.
