Example: Slope of a curve at a point
Use the definition to find the derivative of 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 then, find the equation of the tangent to the curve
at (i) 𝑥 = 4 (ii) 𝑦 = 1.5
Solution
(i) 𝑥 = 4 → 𝑦 = 𝑓(4) = 4 = 2

Implicit differentiation
Implicit differentiation
● Some functions are defined implicitly by a relation between 𝑥 and 𝑦.
● For instance, 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 = 25 or 𝑥 3 + 𝑦 3 = 6𝑥𝑦.
● It is required to find 𝑦 ′ = 𝑓 ′ 𝑥 for these functions.
● Fortunately, we don’t need to solve an equation for 𝑦 in terms of 𝑥 in order to
find the derivative of 𝑦.
● Instead, we can use the method of implicit differentiation. This consists of
➢ Differentiating both sides of the equation with respect to 𝒙.
➢ Solving the resulting equation for 𝒚′ .
