Guidelines for Implicit Differentiation

1. Differentiate both sides of the equation with respect to x.

2. Collect all terms involving dy/dx on the left side of the equation and move all other terms to the right side of the equation.

3. Factor dy/dx out of the left side of the equation.

4. Solve for dy/dx by dividing both sides of the equation by the left-hand factor that does not contain dy/dx.
