Answer

$\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{1-y^{2}}{2xy-1}$

Work Step by Step

Differentiating an equation containing terms of form $f(x)$ and $g(y)$, terms $f(x)$ are differentiated directly, $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}[f(x)],$ and terms $g(y)$ are differentiated using the chain rule, $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}[g(y)]=\frac{d}{dy}[g(y)]\cdot\frac{dy}{dx}$ ------------------ LHS: first term is a product, within which for $(y^{2})^{\prime}$ we need the chain rule... $xy^{2}-y=x\displaystyle \qquad/\frac{d}{dx}$ $(1)y^{2}+x(2y\displaystyle \cdot\frac{dy}{dx})-\frac{dy}{dx}=1\qquad/-y^{2}$ $2xy\displaystyle \cdot\frac{dy}{dx}-\frac{dy}{dx}=1-y^{2}$ $\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}(2xy-1)=1-y^{2}\qquad/\div(2xy-1)$ $\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{1-y^{2}}{2xy-1}$
