The curve given by x2y+y3=4x^{2}y+y^{3}=4 passes through the point (1,1)(1,1). (1) Find an explicit expression for dydx\dfrac{dy}{dx} in terms of xx and yy. Simplify completely. (2) Evaluate dydx\dfrac{dy}{dx} at the point (1,1)(1,1). (3) Determine the equation of the normal line to the curve at (1,1)(1,1).
