    This document provides lecture notes on implicit differentiation for an AP Calculus class. It begins with an overview of the difference between explicitly and implicitly written functions. Examples are then provided to demonstrate how to implicitly differentiate functions with respect to x by collecting terms involving dy/dx, factoring out dy/dx, and solving for dy/dx. Further examples show how to find the slope of tangent lines, graph functions implicitly, and take the second derivative of an implicitly defined function. Guidelines are given for the implicit differentiation process.

    Up to this point, you have learned how to differentiate functions that are expressed in an explicit form.
    We will now take a look at functions written in an implicit form. Note the differences in the two types of
    functions from the table below.
    Explicitly Written Functions
    Implicitly Written Equations

    Guidelines for Implicit Differentiation


    1. Differentiate both sides of the equation with respect to x.
    2. Collect all terms involving
    the equation.

    dy
    on the left side of the equation and move all the other terms to the right side of
    dx

    dy
    out of the left side of the equation.
    dx
    dy
    dy
    4. Solve for
    by dividing both sides of the equation by the left-hand factor that does not contain
    .
