2 5ImplicitDifferentiation

1) This document discusses implicit differentiation, which is used to find the derivative of functions defined implicitly rather than explicitly. 2) It provides examples of differentiating implicitly with respect to x for various functions, as well as finding the derivative of a function given implicitly. 3) Additional examples show using implicit differentiation to find the slope of a graph at a given point, the second derivative implicitly, and the equation of a tangent line to a graph.

2) Use implicit differentiation to find the derivative of a function.
3) Find derivatives of functions using logarithmic differentiation.

Implicit and Explicit Differentiation


Up to this point in the text, most functions have been expressed in explicit form. For example,
in the equation y = 3x2 + 5, the variable y is explicitly written as a function of x. Some
1
functions, however, are only implied by an equation. For instance, the function y = is defined
𝑥
implicitly by the equation x·y = 1.

Implicit Form: Explicit Form Derivative


1 𝑑𝑦
x·y = 1 y = 𝑥 = x-1 = -x-2
𝑑𝑥

Example ONE: Differentiating with Respect to x


𝑑 𝑑 𝑑
a. [3𝑥 2 ] b. [3𝑦 2 ] c. [𝑥 + 3𝑦]
𝑑𝑥 𝑑𝑥 𝑑𝑥

Example TWO: Implicit Differentiation


𝑑𝑦
Find given that y3 + y2 – 5y – x2 = -4
