### Implicit differentiation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Implicit differentiation differentiates both sides of an equation with respect to $x$ and solves for $\frac{dy}{dx}$ ($y´$). Note that if $y$ is isolated, this is effectively the same as explicit differentiation.
|

|
|
||||||
|
!!! warning
|
||||||
|
The **chain rule** must be applied when differentiating terms that contain $y$.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
!!! example
|
||||||
|
$$
|
||||||
|
\frac{x^2}{4} + y^2 = 1 \\
|
||||||
|
\frac{2x}{4} + 2y · \frac{dy}{dx} = 0 \\
|
||||||
|
\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{\frac{x}{2}}{2y} \\
|
||||||
|
\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{x}{4y}
|
||||||
|
$$
