Section D
Question No. 37 to 41 are based on the given text. Read the text carefully and answer the questions: [5]
If a relation between x and y is such that y cannot be expressed in terms of x, then y is called an implicit function of x.
dy
When a given relation expresses y as an implicit function of x and we want to find dx
, then we differentiate every term
dy
of the given relation w.r.t. x, remembering that a term in y is first differentiated w.r.t. y and then multiplied by dx
