Compare direct and logarithmic implicit differentiation

(a) Differentiate x−2x3ln⁡x\dfrac{x-2x^3}{\ln x} with respect to xx. marks

(b) Given that 0<x<π20<x<\dfrac\pi2, show that ddx[sin⁡−1(cos⁡x)]=k\dfrac d{dx}[\sin^{-1}(\cos x)]=k, where kk is a real constant to be determined. marks

(c) Given that exy=(1+y2)2e^{xy}=(1+y^2)^2, find dydx\dfrac{dy}{dx} in terms of xx and yy, simplifying your answer. marks
