Implicit & Explicit Functions • Up to this point, most functions have been expressed in explicit form. Ex: y=3x2– 5 • The variable y is explicitly written as a function of x. • How would you find dy/dx for x2 – 2y3 + 4y = 2? You can use implicit differentiation (apply the Chain Rule, because you are assuming that y is defined implicitly as a differentiable function of x).
Differentiating with Respect to x Variables agree Variables disagree
Guidelines for Implicit Differentiation • Differentiate both sides of the equation with respect to x. • Collect all terms involving dy/dx on the left side of the equation and move all other terms to the right side of the equation. • Factor dy/dx out of the left side of the equation. • Solve for dy/dx.
Implicit Differentiation Find dy/dx given that y3 + y2 – 5y – x2 = -4
Representing a Graph by Differentiable Functions If possible, represent y as a differentiable function of x. a. x2 + y2 = 0 b. x2 + y2 = 1 c. x + y2 = 1
Finding the Slope of a Graph Implicitly Determine the slope of the tangent line to the graph of x2 + 4y2 = 4 at the point
Finding the Slope of a Graph Implicitly Determine the slope of the graph of 3(x2 + y2)2 = 100xy at the point (3,1).
Determining a Differentiable Function Find dy/dx implicitly for the equation siny=x
Finding the 2nd Derivative Given x2 + y2 = 25, find . Evaluate the 1st and 2nd derivatives at the point (-3,4).
