Answer

So, the final answer is: y=2x(y3) and y|(2,4)=4.

Steps

Step 1 :Differentiate the given equation implicitly with respect to x. This involves applying the product rule to the term x2y and then differentiating the remaining terms normally. The differentiated equation is 2xy6x.

Step 2 :Solve the resulting equation for y to find the derivative of y with respect to x. The derivative, y, is 2x(y3).

Step 3 :Substitute the coordinates of the given point into the expression for y to find the value of the derivative at that point. The value of y at the point (2,4) is 4.

Step 4 :So, the final answer is: y=2x(y3) and y|(2,4)=4.
