#I got the wrong answer? (implicit differentiation) (not clickbait) (gone wrong)

So I'm doing this problem:
Find Die_Over_Dicks by implicit differentiation.
x^2*y^2 + x * sin(y) == 4
(sorry I can't use LaTeX I'm allergic)

I know the next step is to differentiate each side, which (I think) gives us
2x*y^2 + x^2 * Die_Over_Dicks + sin(y) + x * cos(y) * Die_Over_Dicks == 0

Now I need to isolate Die_Over_Dicks

  1. Move all the terms that include Die_Over_Dicks to the other side
    2x*y^2 + sin(y) == -x^2 * Die_Over_Dicks -x * cos(y) * Die_Over_Dicks

  2. Combine like terms ⚠️(I have a feeling this is where I screwed up)
    2x*y^2 + sin(y) == -x* Die_Over_Dicks (x + cos(y))

  3. Remove terms from right side
    (2x*y^2 + sin(y)) / -x * (x + cos(y)) == Die_Over_Dicks
    v
    (2x*y^2 + sin(y)) / -x^2 - x * cos(y) == Die_Over_Dicks

The attached image is the answer I was supposed to get, does anyone see my mistake?

did I skip a step while taking the derivatives? that part looks right to me

yes

#

catThink thank you I see it now

#

is there a command I need to do to close this or

#

oh wait

thanks @slate minnow!
