1

Apply implicit differentiation by taking the derivative of both sides of the equation with respect to the differentiation variable

$\frac{d}{dx}\left(\ln\left(xy\right)\right)=\frac{d}{dx}\left(e^{xy}\right)$
2

The derivative of the natural logarithm of a function is equal to the derivative of the function divided by that function. If $f(x)=ln\:a$ (where $a$ is a function of $x$), then $\displaystyle f'(x)=\frac{a'}{a}$

$\frac{1}{xy}\frac{d}{dx}\left(xy\right)=\frac{d}{dx}\left(e^{xy}\right)$
3

Apply the product rule for differentiation: $(f\cdot g)'=f'\cdot g+f\cdot g'$, where $f=x$ and $g=y$

$\frac{1}{xy}\left(\frac{d}{dx}\left(x\right)y+x\frac{d}{dx}\left(y\right)\right)=\frac{d}{dx}\left(e^{xy}\right)$

The derivative of the linear function is equal to $1$

$\frac{1}{xy}\left(y+xy^{\prime}\right)=\frac{d}{dx}\left(e^{xy}\right)$
4

The derivative of the linear function is equal to $1$

$\frac{1}{xy}\left(y+xy^{\prime}\right)=\frac{d}{dx}\left(e^{xy}\right)$
5

Applying the derivative of the exponential function

$\frac{1}{xy}\left(y+xy^{\prime}\right)=e^{xy}\frac{d}{dx}\left(xy\right)$
6

Apply the product rule for differentiation: $(f\cdot g)'=f'\cdot g+f\cdot g'$, where $f=x$ and $g=y$

$\frac{1}{xy}\left(y+xy^{\prime}\right)=e^{xy}\left(\frac{d}{dx}\left(x\right)y+x\frac{d}{dx}\left(y\right)\right)$

The derivative of the linear function is equal to $1$

$\frac{1}{xy}\left(y+xy^{\prime}\right)=\frac{d}{dx}\left(e^{xy}\right)$

The derivative of the linear function is equal to $1$

$\frac{1}{xy}\left(y+xy^{\prime}\right)=e^{xy}\left(y+xy^{\prime}\right)$
7

The derivative of the linear function is equal to $1$

$\frac{1}{xy}\left(y+xy^{\prime}\right)=e^{xy}\left(y+xy^{\prime}\right)$

Multiply both sides of the equation by $xy$

$1\left(y+xy^{\prime}\right)=e^{xy}\left(y+xy^{\prime}\right)xy$

Any expression multiplied by $1$ is equal to itself

$y+xy^{\prime}=e^{xy}\left(y+xy^{\prime}\right)xy$
8

Multiply both sides of the equation by $xy$

$y+xy^{\prime}=e^{xy}\left(y+xy^{\prime}\right)xy$
9

Group the terms of the equation by moving the terms that have the variable $y^{\prime}$ to the left side, and those that do not have it to the right side

$xy^{\prime}-e^{xy}\left(y+xy^{\prime}\right)xy=-y$
10

Move everything to the left hand side of the equation

$xy^{\prime}-e^{xy}\left(y+xy^{\prime}\right)xy+y=0$
11

Factoring by $y+xy^{\prime}$

$\left(xy^{\prime}+y\right)\left(-e^{xy}xy+1\right)=0$
12

Break the equation in $2$ factors and set each factor equal to zero, to obtain simpler equations

$xy^{\prime}+y=0,\:-e^{xy}xy+1=0$
13

Solve the equation ($1$)

$xy^{\prime}+y=0$
14

We need to isolate the dependent variable $y$, we can do that by simultaneously subtracting $y$ from both sides of the equation

$xy^{\prime}=-y$
15

Divide both sides of the equation by $x$

$y^{\prime}=\frac{-y}{x}$
16

Solve the equation ($2$)

$-e^{xy}xy+1=0$
17

This equation $-e^{xy}xy+1=0$ has no solutions in the real plane

$No solution$
18

The solution of the equation is

$y^{\prime}=\frac{-y}{x}$

Final answer to the problem

$y^{\prime}=\frac{-y}{x}$

Main Topic: Implicit Differentiation

Implicit differentiation makes use of the chain rule to differentiate implicitly defined functions. For differentiating an implicit function y(x), defined by an equation R(x, y) = 0, it is not generally possible to solve it explicitly for y(x) and then differentiate. Instead, one can differentiate R(x, y) with respect to x and y and then solve a linear equation in dy/dx for getting explicitly the derivative in terms of x and y.
