Implicit Differentiation Explanation
Implicit differentiation is used when a function is not explicitly solved for one variable in terms of another. This typically happens when is given as a function of , but not in the standard form . In such cases, both and are treated as variables, and we need to apply the chain rule during differentiation.
How it Works:
-
Differentiate both sides of the equation with respect to .
- Treat as a function of , meaning every time you differentiate , you must multiply by (due to the chain rule).
-
Apply the product rule and chain rule where necessary.
-
Solve for , which represents the derivative of with respect to .
Example:
Differentiate the following equation implicitly:
Solution:
-
Differentiate both sides with respect to :
-
Use the power rule on and the chain rule on :
-
Rearrange the equation to solve for :
-
Divide by :
