#4x^3 + lny^4 -4y^2=10#

#d/dx(4x^3 + lny^4 -4y^2) = d/dx(10)#

#12x^2 + 1/y^4 * 4y^3 dy/dx -8y dy/dx =0#

#12x^2 + 4/y dy/dx -8y dy/dx =0# Now, clear the fraction (mult by #y#)

#12x^2y + 4 dy/dx -8y^2 dy/dx =0#

#dy/dx = (12x^2y)/(8y^2-4) = (3x^2y)/(2y^2-1) #

I assume lny^4=#ln(y^4)#, otherwise, you should have written #ln^4(y)#, but please, re-write the question LaTeX-ly

First of all, we need to write the gradient of #F(x)=4x^3 + 4ln(abs(y))-4y^2-10#, which is well defined #forall (x,y) : y!=0#

It is #(12x^2,4/y-8y)#, and it's always nonzero (trivial), so, for Dini's theorem, we can write #dy/dx# whenever #F_y!=0#, so whenever #y!=+-sqrt(2)/2# and it is defined as #dy/dx=-(F_x)/(F_y)=-((12x^2y)/(4-8y^2))#.

Notice that #F_x(0)=0# and #F(x,-)# is even #forall x#, so you have #y_1=y(x)# and #y_2=-y(x)# for the implicit function theorem.
