Implicit Differentiation

So far, we have treated relations. Of the form y = f (x). Examples of such relations are y = 3x2 – 2x + 1,  y = 1 +

In any of these relations, y is said to be expressed explicitly in terms of x. The derivative of y with respect to x can be found from the rules of differentiation which have been discussed in the previous units.

Sometimes, the relationship between y and x may not be expressed explicitly.

For example, consider x2y + xy3 + 3x = 0. Here, the relation between y and x is not expressed explicitly. The relationship between y and x is said to be implicit.

In differentiating x2y+xy3+3x=0, y is treated as if it is a function of x and the rules of differentiation are applied in the appropriate manner. The process of differentiating implicit function is called implicit differentiation.
