In mathematics, an ordinary differential equation ode is a differential equation containing one or more functions of one independent variable and the derivatives of those functions. Usually when we speak of functions, we are talking about explicit functions of the form y fx. First, we just need to take the derivative of everything with respect to \x\ and well need to recall that \y\ is really \y\left x \right\ and so well need to use the chain rule when taking the derivative of terms involving \y\. Implicit differentiation can help us solve inverse functions. To proceed with this booklet you will need to be familiar with the concept of the slope also called the gradient of a straight line.

There are two ways to define functions, implicitly and explicitly. In mathematics, more specifically in multivariable calculus, the implicit function theorem is a tool that allows relations to be converted to functions of several real variables. Introduction to differential calculus is an excellent book for upperundergraduate calculus courses and is also an ideal reference for students and professionals alike who would like to gain a further understanding of the use of calculus to solve problems in a simplified manner. An explicit function is an function expressed as y fx such as \ y \textsin\. In order to solve this for y we will need to solve the earlier equation for y, so.

Selection file type icon file name description size revision time user. The technique of implicit differentiation allows you to find slopes of relations given by equations that are not written as functions, or may even be impossible to write as functions. Most of the equations we have dealt with have been explicit equations, such as y 2x3, so that we can write y fx where fx 2x3. A good way to start investigating this idea is to give your class the equation of a circle, say and ask them to find the slope of the tangent line.
