I am struggling with the following problem for implicit differentiation.
I am tasked to differentiate implicitly the following function, and evaluate y ( 0 ), where y = y ( x ).
ln ( y + 1 ) + sin ( x y ) = ln ( 5 ) .
I have differentiated this once to find,
( y + x y ) cos ( x y ) + y y + 1 = 0
But how to advance from here to find y ( 0 )?

In the original equation we can find y ( 0 ):
ln ( y + 1 ) + sin 0 = ln 5 y ( 0 ) = 4
And in that equation we can find y ( 0 ):
( 4 + 0 ) cos 0 + y 5 = 0 y ( 0 ) = 20
Now just implicit differentiate that expression again and follow the same procedure. Can you take it from here?
