Document Summary

Math 140 - lecture 11 - implicit differentiation. Implicit differentiation involves differentiating both sides of an equation with respect to x , then solving for y" If x2+ y2=25 , find dy dx. 25 x ( 2)+ d dx d dx ( y2)=0 ( 2+ y2)= d dx x d dx ( y2) dy dx. Differentiate both sides of the equation ( y2)= d d dx dx. Because y is a function of x , apply the chain rule. = x dy dx y dx into the differentiated equation. Find an equation of the tangent to the circle x2+ y2=25 at point (3,4) dy dx. Plug into given values into the equation y 4= 3. Use point slope formula or the general formula for a circle to find an or 3x+4y=25 (x 3) equation of the tangent at the circle y= . Differentiate f using the chain rule f " (3)= 3.
