Section 2.4 – Implicit Differentiation

Question: If 2 2 1x y , what is dy

dx ?

4  

How do you differentiate implicitly?

Take the derivatives of both sides with respect to x.

Collect all dy

dx (or y' ) on one side.

Solve for dy

dx (or y' ).

Example: Find dy

dx if 3 2 35 4 5x x y y .

5  

Example: Find dy

dx if 2 2 5 6x xy y .

6  

Example: Given 2 2 7x xy y ,

a) Find the equation of the tangent line to the curve at the point 2 1, .

7  

b) Find the point(s) where the curve has a horizontal tangent line.

9  

Example: Given 4y sin xy , find the slope of the tangent line to the curve at

(0,4).

Exercise: Given 2 1sin x cos y , find dy

dx.

10  

Example: Given 2 2 16x y , find 2

2d y

dx.

Section 3.1 – Related Rates

The Derivative as a Rate of Change

Given y f x , the slope of the secant line

f b f a

b a

gives the average rate of change in y with

respect to x over the interval a,b .

On the other hand, the slope of the tangent line, f ' a , gives the instantaneous

rate of change in y with respect to x at a . The instantaneous rate of change is the

limit of the average rates of change as the interval width approaches 0.

12  

Example: The side length of a square is changing.

The rate of change of the area with respect to side is:

How fast is the area changing when 5x ?

13  

Example: The radius of a right cylinder is decreasing while the height remains constant. What is the rate of change of volume with respect to radius?
