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.

How do you differentiate an equation implicitly?

Back

To differentiate implicitly, take the derivative of both sides of the equation with respect to x, applying the chain rule to terms involving y, and then solve for dy/dx.
