Is WolframAlpha always correct?

    Hi guys, I am doing some implicit differentiation and using WolframAlpha to check my answers. It seems to over complicate some things and I'm not sure I trust the answers. What do you reckon?

    Have you tried using Simplify[ ]? It could be that the expressions Alpha gives are what you have but just in different form.

    No I haven't tried that, it tends to give the answer in 2 or 3 different forms. Sorry but how do I use the Simplify[ ] please?
