Implicit Function

Implicit function is a function where x and y variables are on the same side, and they cannot be separated.

 

Examples

x3+y5+x2y33x+4y+5=0

 

Implicit function can be derived by differentiate the whole equation.

x3+y5+x2y33x+4y+5=03x2+5y4.y+2x.y3+x2.3y2.y3+4y+0=0y(5y4+3x2y2+4)=33x22xy3y=33x22xy35y4+3x2y2+4

 

Notes:

  • Derivative of y is y, then derivative of y5 is 5y4.y
  • Derivative of x2.y3 can use product rule u.v
