Implicit Differentiation
Overview
When y cannot be isolated, differentiate both sides with respect to x and solve for dy/dx.
Key Concepts
1
Differentiate each term, applying chain rule when differentiating y
2
Collect dy/dx terms and solve algebraically
3
Useful for circles, ellipses, and complex curves
