A correspondence or a function is defined implicitly when it is not
the relationship between x and y is given by a
equation of two unknowns whose second member is zero.
Derivatives of implicit functions
To find the derivative implicitly, it is not necessary to isolate y.
Just derive member by member, using the rules seen so far and
keeping in mind that:
x' = 1.
In general, y'≠1.
So we will omit x' and leave y'.
Examples
Differentiate the functions:
1.
2.
When the functions are more complex, we will use a rule to
facilitate the calculation:
Example
Implicit function
A function y(x) is called implicit when it is defined in the form F(x,y) = 0 instead of
the usual.
For example, it can be shown that the followingequationdefineafunctionimplicit in certain
region of between the variables x and y:
Differentiation
To be able to derive an implicit function, thechain rulein the case of the
independent variable there is no problem since it is derived directly, for the
dependent variable is considered as a function that is in turn a function of the
independent variable
Given a function , implicit, if we want to calculate the derivative with respect to
dex: .
If we consider it is a function in terms of the variable
independent it is a function in terms of the dependent variable y, given
what , then to obtain the derivative:
Example
Obtain the derivative of:
The term it can be considered that they are two functions, and for what it is
it will derive as a product:
The term it derives as:
The term it is derived normally as:
The constant value 12, which does not depend on either dexni or dey, has a derivative of 0, like
corresponds to a constant value.
The term it can be considered as a product and is derived as:
By combining all the terms, it is obtained:
