Implicit Differentiation For Function

of Single Variable
• For function of single variable y=f(x), some its implicit differentiations
are given below
𝑑 𝑑𝑦 𝑑 2 𝑑𝑦
𝑦 = ; 𝑦 = 2𝑦 ;
𝑑𝑥 𝑑𝑥 𝑑𝑥 𝑑𝑥

𝑑 3 2 𝑑𝑦 𝑑 1 𝑑𝑦
𝑦 = 3𝑦 ; ln 𝑦 = ;
𝑑𝑥 𝑑𝑥 𝑑𝑥 𝑦 𝑑𝑥

This is the first technique for evaluation of implicit differentiation


Example 1 (Page 31 in Module)
Formula for Implicit Partial Differentiation
• Suppose that z= f(x,y). If f(x,y,z)= 0

𝜕𝑧 𝑓𝑥(𝑥,𝑦,𝑧)
= − ,
𝜕𝑥 𝑓𝑧(𝑥,𝑦,𝑧)

𝜕𝑧 𝑓𝑦(𝑥,𝑦,𝑧)
= − ,
𝜕𝑦 𝑓𝑧(𝑥,𝑦,𝑧)

• Second technique using formula ( Faster)
