What is Implicit Differentiation?

Back

Implicit differentiation is a technique used to differentiate equations that define y implicitly in terms of x, rather than explicitly as y = f(x).

Front

When do we use Implicit Differentiation?

Back

We use implicit differentiation when it is difficult or impossible to solve for y explicitly in terms of x.

What is the first step in implicit differentiation?

Back

The first step is to differentiate both sides of the equation with respect to x, applying the chain rule where necessary.
