Utilize the chain rule and the quotient rule.(all implicit differentiation uses the chain rule.)
d d x ( x + 1 y ) = ( 1 ) y - ( x + 1 ) d y d x y 2
There's not much more we can do without the rest of the equation relating x and y .
We could rewrite a bit, to get:


= y - ( x + 1 ) d y d x y 2


or


= 1 y - x + 1 y 2 d y d x
