Implicit Differentiation
- This method allows
you to determine the derivative as a function of both
and
in situations in which it is not convenient to solve explicitly for
as a function of
.
- The key to these
problems is to recognize that
and to use the Chain Rule whenever
appears.
- You will be
differentiating both sides of an equation with respect to
.
- You will often find yourself using the Chain Rule within a Product Rule computation.
