product rule. let the first function be $3x$ , the second $y^2$ ...

$3x \cdot 2y \cdot \frac{dy}{dx} + y^2 \cdot 3$

Hi! You can split $3xy^2$ into $3x$ times $y^2$ and use the product rule:

$\frac{d}{dx} (3x)(y^2) = 3(y^2) + (3x) \left(2y \frac{dy}{dx} \right)$

The equation is
$x^3 + 3xy^2 + 4y = 40$
After differentiation you get
$3x^2 + 3x(2y)(dy/dx) + 3y^2 + 4dy/dx = 0$
Now simplify to find dy/dx
