I'm trying to compute the (implicit) derivative $\frac{dy}{dx}$ from the function
$$e^{2y}=x^3$$
If I use $\ln$ on both sides I can isolate $y$ and find the derivative:
$$\ln(e^{2y}) = \ln(x^3)$$ $$2y = 3\ln(x)$$ $$y=\frac{3}{2} \ln(x)$$ $$y' = \frac{3}{2x}$$
But if I use implicit differentiation I get:
$$\frac{d}{dx}(e^{2y}) = \frac{d}{dx}x^3$$ $$\frac{d}{dy}(e^{2y})\frac{d}{dx}(y) = 3x^2$$ $$2e^{2y}\cdot y'=3x^2$$ $$y'=\frac{3x^2}{2e^{2y}}$$
I know both methods should give the same result. What am I missing?
Thanks!
Substitute $e^{2y}$ by $x^3$ in the last line.
