\

(a) Implicit differentiation:

\

The equation is  \"\".

\

Differentiate on each side with respect to \"\".

\

\"\"

\

\"\".

\

\

(b) Explicit differentiation:

\

Solving for y.

\

\"\"

\

Differentiate above function with respect to x.

\

\"\"

\

Quotient rule of derivatives: \"\".

\

\"\"

\

\"\".

\

\"\".

\

\

(c)

\

Solution for part (a) is  \"\".

\

Substitute \"\"  in  \"\".

\

\"\"

\

\"\"

\

Thus, the result in part (a), matches with the result in part (b).

\

\

(a) \"\".

\

(b) \"\"  and  \"\".

\

(c) Results are consistent.
