Solving Derivative dy/dx: y, sin(xy) + 1 = cos x

[skyhawk714]

1. Find the derivatie of y, dy when e/\(y) cos x=1 + sin (xy)
---
dx

2. I don't know of any Relevant equations


3. The first time i tried the problem i got e/\(y) cos X+ y cos (xy)
------------------------
e/\(y) sin x- x cos (xy)

but i know that's not right...how do i even do a problem like this?

You are trying to use implicit differentiation to find dy/dx given (e^y)*cos(x)=1+sin(xy), right? Your answer has the right sort of general form, but it's not correct. Differentiate both sides of (e^y)*cos(x)=1+sin(xy) using the chain rule and show the steps you did to get your answer.
