Homework Equations
I do not recall seeing the Implicit Function Theroem before, I even went back in my book (Stewart Calculus 6th) to check. I found this post but it does not help me understand the steps involved: https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=79275
The Attempt at a Solution
[tex]xe^{y}+ye^{x}=1[/tex]
[tex]\frac{d}{dx}(xe^{y})+\frac{d}{dx}(ye^{x})=\frac{d}{dx}(1)[/tex]
I am not sure if this requires the product rule but,
[tex]\frac{d}{dx}(xe^{y})=e^{y}+xe^{y}[/tex]
Then, I'm not sure on the other part?
[tex]\frac{d}{dx}(ye^{x})=y'e^{x}+ye^{x}[/tex]
