Implicit Differentiation
www.mathcentre.ac.uk › mc-ty-implicit-2009-1Implicit Differentiation mc-TY-implicit-2009-1 Sometimes functions are given not in the form y = f(x) but in a more complicated form in which it is difficult or impossible to express y explicitly in terms of x. Such functions are called implicit functions. In this unit we explain how these can be differentiated using implicit differentiation.
