Implicit differentiation (Given F(x,y)=0, differentiate both sides w.r.t. x treating y as function)
jee-mainjee-advanced
Given F(x,y)=0, differentiate both sides w.r.t. x treating y as function of x, then solve for dy/dx
What each symbol means
| Symbol | What it stands for |
|---|---|
| dy/dx | Derivative to solve for |
| F(x,y) | Implicit relation between x and y |
When to use this
F must be differentiable and dF/dy != 0 at the point.
