so I have a implicit diffentiation problem and was wondering if someone could help me out.. I need to figure out how to get dy/dx=0 so eg if i had dy/dx = 4xy+2x/5y^2 and you want to write this in terms of y, how is this done? is there a trick?

Could someone please explain to me how implicit differentiation is an application of the chain rule? It would be much appreciated. By the way, if it helps, I'm a junior in high school. Thanks.

Hi, I'm working on a cal III problem involving implicit differentiation. I have to find the second order partial derivative of an implicit function, basically: \partial2f \partialx2 now, I know that for a single order \partialf/\partialx, I would simply use the chain rule property: \partialf =...

Im having trouble solving these two questions. I don't know where to start so I can't give an attempt at either of them. Please tell me how to do the full question if you can cause i can't check back until morning then i have to go to an exam. http://www.users.on.net/~rohanlal/one.jpg...

In the implicit function theorem, we take a C^1 function F:R^n x R^m --> R^m and given a condition on the partial derivatives at a point (x_0,y_0) such that F(x_0,y_0)=0, we conclude that the relation F(x,y)=0 implicitely defines a function f(x)=y in a nbh of x_0. I.e. the last m variables are...

(x^2-y^2)^2=(x+y)^3 I tried to use the chain rule on both sides but it didn't work because y needs to have the chain rule used on it explicitly and if i differentiate y explicitly then use the chain rule on everything i would be finding the 2nd derivative. So how do i differentiate this?

This probably has a really simple answer. Forr u=x^2-y^2 and v=x^2+y^2 x and y are apparently the dependent variables. But the independent variable is the input while the dependent variable is the output, so since u=f1(x,y) and v=f2(x,y) shouldn't they (u and v) be the dependent variables?

Hello: I thought I had this but in doing the problem I realized I didn't (or maybe I didn't). One of the problems was that in class and notes all examples were done in terms of f(x,y). Obviously in h/w, the problem is given as f(x1,x2,x3) - just to confuse me ! Problem statement a- For...

We have implicit differentiation: i.e. x^2 + y^2 = 7 -> 2x +2y(dy/dx) = 0. and solve for dy/dx gives you the derivative of y with respect to x However, is there not implicit integration? for terms linear in y, i.e. x^2 + y = 7 -> X^3/3 +int(y) = 7x + K, and solve for int(y) to...
