You can use the product rule, like the usual. Just remember that the derivative of y with respect to x in $(df)/(dx)$ is $(dy)/(dx)$ .

With $f(x): ysinx = y$ ,

$(df)/(dx)[ysinx = y] = ycosx + sinx((dy)/(dx)) = (dy)/(dx)$

$(dy)/(dx)[1-sinx] = ycosx$

$(dy)/(dx) = (ycosx)/(1-sinx)$

If you check Wolfram Alpha, you'll see this, just multiplied by $-1$ .
