Implicit Differentiation and Derivatives

This video tutorial covers the concept of implicit differentiation, demonstrating how to find derivatives of equations involving multiple variables. It includes step-by-step solutions to example problems, illustrating the use of the power rule, product rule, and quotient rule. The tutorial also explains how to find the second derivative and provides additional resources for further learning.

What is the first step in solving an implicit differentiation problem?

• Multiply both sides by a constant

• Solve for y in terms of x
