Implicit Differentiation:
: Find
and
implicitly for
.
First use the Product Rule to find
:
.
Carrying out the derivatives, we get
.
Collecting terms, we get
.
Upon dividing, we get
.
For comparison, we wish to find
. We shall use the same techniques. First apply the Product Rule:
![]()
Carry out the derivatives:
.
Collect terms:
![]()
Upon dividing, we get
, which is the reciprocal of the result for
as expected.
