Hello and thank you for your time.

The problem started out as:

Find the tangent line @ given point.
cos(xy)+sin(y)=2

@ (π/2,π/4)




I almost have the answer, but have issues simplifying farther.


∂ [cos(x−y)]+ ∂ [sin(y)]=0

(−sin(x−y)) · ∂ [x−y]+cos(y) · ∂ [y]=0

y′cos(y)−( ∂ [x]− ∂ [y] )sin(x−y)=0

cos(y)y′−(1−y′)sin(x−y)=0

How do I solve for y' here?
Final answer should be:

y′=sin(y−x) · sin(y−x)−cos(y)
