Y^3+XY+X^2=0 and I was suppose to find dY/dX and substitute the value 10 for X after differentiating. Weirdly enough, this equation does not let me get rid of the variable Y after solving and hence I couldn't find a valid answer. Would request you to help me approach the problem. Also, I would like to do so without finding the roots of Y and solving, as someone pointed out earlier in class.

Let . Then
We know and we need the corresponding y which is the solution of which is cubic equation that you can solve using Cardano. This equation has a single real root given by
If you do not use Cardano, only a numerical method could be used. The simplest would be Newton, which, starting from a "reason able" guess will update it according to
with . By inspection, you could see that there is a root close to −4; so, let us select . Soo, Newton iterates will be −3.93103,−3.93003.

Are you sure that you need more ? If yes, you will have to solve for and put it back into the above formula.
