"Calculus and its applications: " - Calculus and its applications-implicit differentiation and related rates have objective: differentiate implicitly, solve related rate problems. | 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved Slide Implicit Differentiation and Related Rates OBJECTIVE Differentiate implicitly. Solve related rate problems. 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved Slide To differentiate implicitly : a) Differentiate both sides of the equation with respect to x (or whatever variable you are differentiating with respect to). b) Apply the rules of differentiation as necessary. Any time an expression involving y is differentiated, dy/dx will be a factor in the result. c) Isolate all terms with dy/dx as a factor on one side of the equation. d) Factor out dy/dx. e) Divide both sides of the equation to isolate dy/dx.

All rights reserved Slide Implicit Differentiation and Related Rates Section Summary If variables and are related to one another by an equation but neither variable is isolated on one side of the equation, we say that and have an implicit relationship. To find without solving such an equation for , we use implicit differentiation. Whenever we implicitly differentiate with respect to , the factor will appear as a result of the Chain Rule. To determine the slope of a tangent line at a point on the graph of an implicit relationship, we may need to evaluate the derivative by inserting both the and the of the point of tangency.
