#Explicit Differentiation help

What is your question exactly ?
It's asking me to use implicit differentiation to find an equation of the tangent line but I am confused on how to set up the first step.
I know I'm supposed to take the derivative from both sides with respect to x, so d/dx.
Okay so you're considering the curve $C := { (x,y) \in \mathbb{R}^2 ; y \sin6x = x \cos6y}$ ?
Twenty
are they asking for the differenciation of the equation and finding what dy/dx= smth?
which will be ur gradiend of tangent
oooooh
ok
so u will differenciation both y sin6x and xcos6y
so lets differenciate ysin6x first since there are 2 coeficient u will need to use product rule
dy/dx(sin6x)+6ycos6x
do u und how i got this?
1 sec let me check my work
ok
Okay this step is where I am missing something
which step?
I got: (dy/dx) (6cosx)
aaah
u cannot do tht
u must use the product rule
for tht kind of ques
x cos6y too u need to use product rule
because they are 2 diff coeficients
Do you have a mic by chance?
ye
can I call you real quick?
give me 3 min
no problem thank you!
i mean i can hear u i just wont be able to talk
If you don't mind, I'd prefer to hear voice as It removes chances of confusion. Extrapolating from text is what's messing me up haha
ok
Where are you from?>
you ready?
