Implicit differentiation Materials in textbook: page 227-233

Outline Derivative of implicit functions Derivative of inverse trigonometric functions

Expressions of functions Explicit expression: y can be explicitly expressed in term

of x, for example,

Implicit expression: x and y related by an equation, and can not solve y in terms of x explicitly, for example,

Implicit differentiationEx. Find if

Sol. Differentiating both sides with respect to x, regarding y

as a function of x, and using the chain rule, we get
