NOTES 02.7 Implicit Differentiation
korpisworld.com › Mathematics › Calculus MaximusFor such equations, we will be forced to use implicit differentiation, then solve for dy dx, which will be a function of either y alone or both x and y. Important note 1: Just because an equation is not explicitly solved for a dependent variable doesn’t mean it can’t. Your first step is to analyze whether it can be solved explicitly.
8 Implicit Differentiation - The Citadel
macs.citadel.edu › chenm › 131Steps of computing dy dx: Step I: d dx F x,y d dx G x,y in terms of x,y and dy dx (or y′). Step II:Solve dy dx from above equation in terms of x and y. Example: Given x2y2 −2x 4 −y, find dy dx (y′ x ) and the equation of the tangent line at the point 2,−2 . Example: Given xexy 2y2 cos x x, find dy dx (y′ x ).
