Implicit differentiation.

Making y the subject: If xy = 1, y = x−1 & dx


dy
= −x−2 . But xy − y 2 = 1 is harder to be
changed to the subject of y.

Note: d
dx (f (y)) = f  (y) · dy
dx

Example 1. Find dy
dx given xy − y 2 = 1.

Example 2. Find dy
dx if x2 y 3 = 1.

Question 3. If x2y = (x + y)3, show that dy


dx = xy .

Question 4. If xy + 5x + 8 = 0, show that x2 dy


dx = 8.

Question 5. If ax2 + by2 = c show that dx2 = b2 y 3 .

15) Use three strategies to fmd - m terms of x and y, where -- = x. Strategy 1: Use implicit differentiation
dx 4y
directly on the given equation. Strategy 2: Multiply both sides of the given equation by the denominator of
the left side, then use implicit differentiation. Strategy 3: Solve for y, then differentiate. Do your three
answers look the same? If not, how can you show that they are all correct answers?
