Section 3.5 Implicit Differentiation

1

Example

If f(x) = (x7 + 3x5 – 2x2)10, determine f ’(x).

Now write the answer above only in terms of y if y = x7 + 3x5 – 2x2.

Answer: f΄(x) =10(x7 + 3x5 – 2x2)9(7x6 + 15x4 – 4x)

Answer: f ΄(x) = 10y9y΄

Purpose

9x + x2 – 2y = 5 5x – 3xy + y2 = 2y

Easy to solve for y and differentiate

Not easy to solve for y and differentiate

Process wise, simply take the derivative of each side of the equation with respect to x and when we encounter terms containing y, we use the chain rule.

In equations like 5x – 3xy + y2 = 2y, we simply assume that y = f(x), or some function of x which is not easy to find.

y3 = 2x

• Differentiate both sides of the equation.Since y is a function of x, every time we differentiate a term containing y, we need to multiply it by y’ or dy/dx.

• Solve for y’.• Every term containing y’ should be moved to the left by

adding or subtracting terms only.• Every term containing no y’ should be moved to the right

hand side.• Factor out y’ and divide both sides by the expression
