Implicit Differentiation MATH 124 Notes

This document discusses implicit differentiation. It recalls that a function can be written explicitly as y in terms of x, or implicitly as an equation relating x and y. To find the explicit form, implicit differentiation is used to solve for y' in terms of x and y. This allows studying the slope of the curve at different points. As an example, if y is given implicitly as y2 = g(x)2, implicit differentiation yields y' = y'(x)g'(x)/2y(x). Terminology defines an explicit function of x as one where y can be written solely in terms of x, as opposed to an implicit function which relates x and y.
