The following diagrams show the steps for implicit differentiation. Scroll down the page for more examples and solutions on how to use implicit differentiation.
Implicit Differentiation
Examples:
Find dy/dx. Then find the slope of the tangent line at the given point.
a) 2x
2 - 3y
3 = 5 at (-2,1)
b) y
3 + x
2y
5 - x
4 = 27 at (0,3)
Implicit Differentiation - Basic Idea and Examples
Example:
Find dy/dx of x
2 + (xy) + cos(y) = 8y
Implicit Differentiation Examples
An example of finding a tangent line is also given.
Example:
1. Find dy/dx of 1 + x = sin(xy
2)
2. Find the equation of the tangent line at (1,1) on the curve x
2 + xy + y
2 = 3.
