Math Problem Statement
Solution
The equation given for implicit differentiation is:
To find the derivative , we will differentiate both sides of the equation with respect to , applying the chain rule where necessary.
Step-by-step solution:
Left-hand side:
Using the chain rule, this becomes: Here, is the derivative of , and is the derivative of with respect to , where we applied the chain rule to differentiate implicitly.
Right-hand side:
Using the product and chain rules, we get: Here, is the derivative of with respect to , and is the implicit differentiation of .
Combining both sides:
Now, we have the equation:
Solving for :
To isolate , expand both sides and group all terms containing on one side.
