### Implicit Differentiation Example

**Problem:**

Find \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) by implicit differentiation.

\[ \sqrt{xy} = x^9 y + 54 \]

**Instructions:**

In this example, we will use implicit differentiation to find the derivative \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) of the given equation. Let's proceed step by step.

1. **Rewrite the Given Equation**
\[ \sqrt{xy} = x^9 y + 54 \]

2. **Differentiate Both Sides with Respect to \(x\)**
   - For the left side of the equation, we apply the chain rule on \(\sqrt{xy}\). 
   - For the right side of the equation, apply the product rule to \(x^9 y\) and differentiate the constant \(54\), which gives 0.

3. **Applying Chain Rule to the Left Side** 
\[ \frac{d}{dx} (\sqrt{xy}) = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{xy}} \cdot \frac{d}{dx} (xy) \]

4. **Differentiate \(xy\) Using Product Rule**
\[ \frac{d}{dx} (xy) = y + x \frac{dy}{dx} \]

Thus,
\[ \frac{d}{dx} (\sqrt{xy}) = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{xy}} (y + x \frac{dy}{dx}) \]

5. **Applying Product Rule to the Right Side** 
\[ \frac{d}{dx} (x^9 y) = 9x^8 y + x^9 \frac{dy}{dx} \]

6. **Differentiate the Constant Term**
\[ \frac{d}{dx} 54 = 0 \]

Putting it all together, we get:

\[ \frac{1}{2\sqrt{xy}} (y + x \frac{dy}{dx}) = 9x^8 y + x^9 \frac{dy}{dx} \]

7. **Simplify and Solve for \(\frac{dy}{dx}\)**
\[ \frac{y + x \frac{dy}{dx}}{2\sqrt{xy}} = 9x^8 y + x^9 \frac{dy}{dx} \]

Multiply both sides by \(2\sqrt{xy}\) to
