Implicit Differentiation and Derivatives

The video tutorial explains how to find dy/dx using implicit differentiation. It begins by differentiating both sides of an equation with respect to x, applying the chain rule for y terms. The quotient rule is used to differentiate the left side, followed by simplifying the expression. Finally, the tutorial demonstrates solving for dy/dx by isolating it on one side of the equation.

What is the first step in implicit differentiation?

• Differentiate both sides with respect to y

• Differentiate both sides with respect to x

• Apply the product rule

• Apply the chain rule

When differentiating a y term with respect to x, what additional factor must be included?

• y/x

• dy/dx

• dx/dy

• x/y

Which rule is applied to differentiate the left side of the equation?

• Product rule

• Quotient rule

• Power rule

• Chain rule

What is the derivative of 5x with respect to x?

• 0

• 1

• x

• 5

What happens to the terms 5x - 5x in the simplification process?

• They become 10x

• They become -5x

• They become 5x

• They cancel each other out

What operation is performed to clear the denominator from the left side?

• Addition

• Subtraction

• Multiplication

• Division

What is added to both sides to further simplify the equation?

• x - y

• 3x^2

• 5y

• 5x

What is the final step to solve for dydx?

• Divide both sides by 5x

• Multiply both sides by 5x

• Subtract 5x from both sides

• Add 5x to both sides

In the final expression for dydx, what is the denominator?

• x - y

• 5y

• 5x

• 3x^2

What is the purpose of implicit differentiation in this context?

• To find the derivative of y with respect to x

• To find the derivative of x with respect to y

• To solve for x

• To solve for y
