Lecture 3.6 Implicit Differentiation

1) Implicit differentiation is a technique used to find the derivative of functions defined implicitly rather than explicitly. It involves differentiating both sides of the equation with respect to x and then solving for dy/dx. 2) Higher order derivatives can be found by taking additional derivatives. For an implicitly defined function, this may require substituting previous derivatives back into the original equation before taking additional derivatives. 3) The TI-89 calculator software Calculus Tools can be used to perform implicit differentiation and find higher order derivatives numerically for implicitly defined functions.

Before we start, we are going to load the
Calculus Tools flash application software to your
calculator.

1. Connect the sending and receiving calculators together.

2. On the sending unit, press 2nd VAR-LINK , and


then 2nd F7 .

Press F4 to select Calculus Tools .


3. On the receiving unit, press 2nd VAR-LINK .

4. On both units, press F3 (Link).


4. On the receiving unit, select 2 (Receive).
5. On the sending unit, select 1 (Send). 
