When using implicit differentiation, what must you write each time you take the derivative of y?

• dx over dy

• dy over dx

• d squared y over dx squared

• d squared x over dy squared

Why is product rule necessary in some implicit differentiation problems?

• Because the function is exponential

• Because the function involves a product of x and y

• Because the function is linear

What is the first step in finding the second derivative using implicit differentiation?

• Isolate dy over dx

• Take the derivative of the first derivative

• Simplify the original equation

• Use the chain rule

How do you handle different variables in implicit differentiation?
