8 LM3 Implicit Differentiation

1. The document discusses implicit differentiation, which is the process of finding the derivative of a dependent variable in an implicit function. 2. It provides examples of using implicit differentiation to find the derivative of functions where y is defined implicitly rather than explicitly. 3. The document notes that when using implicit differentiation, terms containing dy/dx can always be grouped and solved for dy/dx, making it possible to find the derivative in all cases.

Implicit Differentiation

What do I need At the end of the lesson, the learners will be able to:
to learn? 1. Define Implicit Differentiation
2. differentiate implicitly

What to remember?
Implicit Differentiation
In implicit differentiation, we differentiate each side of an equation with two
variables (usually x and y) by treating one of the variables as a function of the
other. The process of finding the derivative of a dependent variable in an implicit
function by differentiating each term separately, by expressing the derivative of
the dependent variable as a symbol, and by solving the resulting expression for
the symbol.

You might think that the step in which we solve


for dydxdydx could sometimes be difficult. In fact, this
never happens. All occurrences dydxdydx arise from
applying the chain rule, and whenever the chain rule is
used it deposits a single dydxdydx multiplied by some
other expression. Hence our expression is linear
in dydxdydx, it will always be possible to group the terms
containing dydxdydx together and factor out the dydxdydx,
just as in the previous examples.
