Explicit and Implicit Functions
Implicit differentiation is a
method of finding the
derivatives of implicit
functions.

Implicit Differentiation
𝑑𝑦
In solving for , the differentiation taking
𝑑𝑥
place is with respect to 𝒙 . When we
differentiate with similar variables, we
differentiate as it is.
𝒅
In 𝑥 2, the derivative is 𝒙𝟐 = 𝟐𝒙.

𝑑𝑦
● Implicit differentiation is used to find
𝑑𝑥
if 𝑦 is an implicitly defined function of 𝑥.
o Step 1: Differentiate both sides of the
equation with respect to 𝑥. Use chain
rule in differentiating 𝑦.
𝑑𝑦
o Step 2: Isolate .
