Find dy/dx xy^3-7y+y^2-4=0
The problem is asking for the derivation of the given equation with respect to x. It involves finding the derivative dy/dx of the implicit function defined by the equation xy^3 - 7y + y^2 - 4 = 0, where x and y are variables. The terms within the equation are composed of both x and y, making it an implicit differentiation problem rather than explicit. The goal is to use differentiation rules, including the product rule and chain rule, to differentiate each term with respect to x, while also applying the implicit differentiation principle which involves taking the derivative of y with respect to x as dy/dx where necessary.
