actually ur firend is right... absolutely.

This is a very standard question. YOu should just know the trick...

if you can see. the whole thing on the right is a part of itself!!!

because if u leave the first bracket root and x you will still remain with y

thsi si the only trick here...

so if u see carefully,

y=√(x+y)

so this problem is only that much!

now you can get dy/dx isnt it?

dy/dx=1/(2√(x+y)){1+dy/dx}

take dy/dx on one side and you are done!

and yeah you can ask as many problems as you want to.. :)
