Document Summary

Same equaion: x^2y + y = x^2-1not explicit (implicit) y is stated explicitly as a funcion of x but what do you do if you get: x^3 + y^3 y 4 = 0 !! Now we must use implicit difereniaion: not all funcions can be expressed explicitly in terms of x; we use implicit difereniaion to ind derivaives at such funcions. * it is understood that y=f(x) even though y is not writen explicitly as a funcion of x. d/dx (y^2) = d(x)/dx we difereniate both sides with respect to x ind derivaive. = 2y dy dx d/dx(y^2) = d(x)/dx dy dx = 1. 2y dy dx = 1/2y so we treated y as x, but add dy/dx at end. Method for inding dy/dx by implicit difereniaion: difereniate both sides with respect to x the derivaive of any term involving y must include a dy dx factor, solve for dy dx.
