Use implicit differentiation where LaTeX:  \displaystyle y is a function of LaTeX:  \displaystyle x to find the derivative of LaTeX:  \displaystyle - 9 x^{2} e^{y^{2}} - 4 y^{2} \cos{\left(x \right)}=23

Taking the derivative of both sides using implicit differentiation gives: LaTeX:   - 18 x^{2} y y' e^{y^{2}} - 18 x e^{y^{2}} + 4 y^{2} \sin{\left(x \right)} - 8 y y' \cos{\left(x \right)} = 0  Solving for LaTeX:  \displaystyle y' gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle y' = \frac{- 9 x e^{y^{2}} + 2 y^{2} \sin{\left(x \right)}}{y \left(9 x^{2} e^{y^{2}} + 4 \cos{\left(x \right)}\right)}
