Document Summary

So far, we have computed derivatives of "explicit" functions, of the form y = f (x). We also want to be able to nd the derivative for "implicit" functions like a circle, x2 + y2 = 1. If we solve for y here, we get two functions and we"d have to nd the derivative twice. We will get a formula for the derivative that is based on both x and y, which can di erentiate between multiple tangent lines with the same x value. Note that this means we compute the derivative of any term with only x"s as usual. Ex: find dy dx given x2 + y2 = 1. d d dx (1) d dx d (x2) + dx (x) + 2y d dx. 2y (y) = 0 dy dx dy dx dy dx. Ex: find dy dx given x cos(y) = x2y. = 2xy + x2 dx dy dy dx dy dx dy dx.
