Presentation Transcript
1. 3.7 Implicit Differentiation • Implicitly Defined Functions • How do we find the slope when we cannot conveniently solve the equation to find the functions? • Treat y as a differentiable function of x and differentiate both sides of the equation with respect to x, using the differentiation rules for sums, products, quotients, and the Chain Rule. • Then solve for dy/dx in terms of x and y together to obtain a formula that calculates the slope at any point (x,y) on the graph from the values of x and y. • The process is called implicit differentiation.

2. Differentiating Implicitly • Find dy/dx if y² = x. • To find dy/dx, we simply differentiate both sides of the equation and apply the Chain Rule.

3. Finding Slope on a Circle • Find the slope of the circle x² + y² = 25 at the point (3 , -4).

4. Solving for dy/dx • Show that the slope dy/dx is defined at every point on the graph 2y = x² + sin y. The formula for dy/dx is defined at every point (x , y), except for those points at which cos y = 2. Since cos y cannot be greater than 1, this never happens.

5. Lenses, Tangents, and Normal Lines • In the law that describes how light changes direction as it enters a lens, the important angles are the angles the light makes with the line perpendicular to the surface of the lens at the point of entry.

6. Lenses, Tangents, and Normal Lines • This line is called the normal to the surface at the point of entry. • In a profile view of a lens like the one in Figure 3.50, the normal is a line perpendicular to the tangent to the profile curve at the point of entry. • Profiles of lenses are often described by quadratic curves. When they are, we can use implicit differentiation to find the tangents and normals.

7. Tangent and Normal to an Ellipse • Find the tangent and normal to the ellipse x2 – xy + y2 = 7 at the point (-1 , 2). • First, use implicit differentiation to find dy/dx:

8. Tangent and Normal to an Ellipse • We then evaluate the derivative at x = -1 and y = 2 to obtain: • The tangent to the curve at (-1 , 2) is: • The normal to the curve at (-1 , 2) is:

9. Finding a Second Derivative Implicitly • Find d²y/dx² if 2x³ - 3y² = 8. • To start, we differentiate both sides of the equation with respect to x in order to find y’ = dy/dx.

10. Finding a Second Derivative Implicitly • We now apply the Quotient Rule to find y”. • Finally, we substitute y’ = x²/y to express y” in terms of x and y.
