Illustrate implicit differentiation (STEM_BC11D-IIIi-2).

Differentiate explicit and implicit functions.

Use implicit differentiation in finding the derivatives of


implicit functions.
Implicit Differentiation

So far, we have differentiated functions of the form 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥). Or we say that 𝑦 is


explicitly defined as a function of 𝑥. However, in the curve it is not straightforward to
solve for 𝑦 in terms of 𝑥, so we cannot use the previous methods of differentiation.
What did Mathematician/s do? They used a technique called implicit differentiation to
find the derivative of the equation without writing 𝑦 explicitly in terms of 𝑥. In this
lesson, we will use this method in finding the derivatives of these types of equations.
Implicit Differentiation

An explicit function is a function defined by the


equation . In other words, is isolated on one side of
the equation.

An implicit function is a function that is not written


in the form . This means that can be found on either
or both sides of the equation together with .

Essential Question

How will you differentiate an implicit function that cannot be


expressed in the form ?

Implicit Differentiation
Procedure for Implicit Differentiation
Given an equation containing the variables and for which you
cannot easily solve for in terms of , you can find by doing the
following:
1. Differentiate the term of the equation with respect to x.
2. Move all the terms containing to the left side of the equation and
all other terms to the right side.
3. Factor out on the left side of the equation.
4. Solve for .
