Implicit Differentiation
- it is the process of finding the derivatives of
_________________________.

Three steps on how to do implicit differentiation:

1. Differentiate with _________________.
2. Collect all _____ on one side.
3. Solve for _____.
Examples
5. 𝒙𝟐 + 𝟑𝒙𝒚 + 𝒚𝟐 = 𝟒

1. 𝟐𝒙 + 𝒚 = 𝟓

2. 𝟐𝒚 − 𝒙𝟐 = −𝟕

Try this
6. 𝒙𝟐 − 𝟔𝒙𝒚 + 𝒚𝟑 = 𝟑𝟎

3. 𝒙𝟐 + 𝟑𝒚𝟐 − 𝟏𝟎𝒙 − 𝟏𝟔𝒚 = −𝟖𝟗
