Implicit Differentiation
Consider the equation . To find , we can rewrite the equation as , then differentiate as usual. ie: , so . This is called explicit differentiation.
However, sometimes, it is difficult to express as a function of explicitly. For example:
Therefore, we can use the procedure called implicit differentiation
