i 2.5 Implicit Differentiation |
Definitions vs. ic finitions
Up to this point, you have learned how to differentiate functions that are expressed in explicit form, for
which the variable y is explicitly written as a function of x.

Explicit form: y= 3x? imp
Finding the derivative of some equations is not possible unless you use implicit differentiation. When do
you have to use implict differentiation? y iyhen y is not alone or not a function
