Implicit differentiation is a technique used to find the derivative of functions that are defined implicitly rather than explicitly. The process involves differentiating both sides of the equation with respect to x and then solving for dy/

2.5 Implicit Differentiation

Use implicit differentiation to find the derivative of a function

  • Differentiate both sides of the equation with respect to x.
  • Collect all terms involving dy/dx on the left side of the equation and move all other terms to the right side of the equation.
  • Factor dy/dx out of the left side of the equation.
  • Solve for dy/dx.

    To differentiate an implicitly defined function one must use the chain rule on all terms involving y.

    Distinguish between functions written in implicit form and explicit form

    Explicit: y = f(x)

    Implicit: y and f(x) are mixed together
