2. IMPLICIT DIFFERENTIATION

3. Implicit Differentiation
• Most of you are sometimes face with situations where
you need to choose between expressing explicitly and
expressing implicitly. Of course, you will choose the
one that is clear and not ambiguous. The same
situation happens also in mathematics, especially
when dealing with functions. A function is written in
explicit form when it is expressed as 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥). All
functions that are dealt with in the previous modules
are written in this form.

4. Implicit Differentiation
•However, there are times when mathematical
functions are written in more complicated form,
wherein it is difficult (or sometimes impossible)
to express 𝑦 explicitly in terms of 𝑥 . Such
functions are expressed in implicit form. This
section of the module will try to explain how
these functions can be differentiated.

5. Implicit Differentiation
•To start, consider the following equations
describing two familiar curves:
𝑦 = 𝑥2
+ 3
𝑥2
+ 3𝑦 = 4

6. Implicit Differentiation
•The first function defines 𝑦 as a function
of 𝑥 explicitly, because for each 𝑥, the equation
gives the explicit formula 𝑦 = 𝑓 𝑥 for finding
the corresponding value of 𝑦. You can easily
differentiate this function following the usual
process by applying the differentiation rules:
𝑑𝑦
𝑑𝑥
= 2𝑥

7. Implicit Differentiation
•The second function may still be differentiated
easily, provided that it is possible to express it in
explicit form. Because 𝑥2
+ 3𝑦 = 4 , then by
algebraic manipulation, 𝑦 = −
1
3
𝑥2
+
4
3
. You can
now differentiate this function and yield
𝑑𝑦
𝑑𝑥
= −
1
3
2𝑥 = −

𝑥

8. Implicit Differentiation
•However, there are cases when it is totally
impossible to rewrite the given equation as
function of 𝑥, such as 𝑥4
+ 2𝑥𝑦 − 𝑦3
+ 2 = 0. It
is in these instances that implicit differentiation
is used.

9. Implicit Differentiation
• Because the equation is written in implicit form, the
process of implicit differentiation involves
differentiating each term of an equation on both
sides, including those that contain the variably 𝑦. To
totally understand how this works, remember that
you are always differentiating in terms of 𝑥. Thus, you
must differentiate the 𝑥 terms in the usual way. But
for the 𝑦 terms, the chain rule must be applied
because 𝑦 is defined implicitly as a function of 𝑥. For
example, the expression 𝑥3
+ 3𝑦2
has a derivative
of 3𝑥2
+ 6𝑦
𝑑𝑦
𝑑𝑥
.

10. Implicit Differentiation
• To further guide you on the implicit differentiation
process, follow these steps:
• Differentiate both sides of the equation with respect
to 𝑥.
• Combine all terms containing
𝑑𝑦
𝑑𝑥
on the left side of the
equation and all the other terms on the right side.
• On the left side of the equation, factor out
𝑑𝑦
𝑑𝑥
.
• Isolate
𝑑𝑦
𝑑𝑥
by dividing out the other factor on the left side.

11. Example 1:
•Find
𝑑𝑦
𝑑𝑥
given that 𝑦3
+ 𝑦 − 3𝑥2
= 2𝑥 + 5.

12. Solution:
•Differentiate both sides of the equation with
respect to 𝑥.
𝑑
𝑑𝑥
𝑦3
+ 𝑦 − 3𝑥2
=
𝑑
𝑑𝑥
2𝑥 + 5
•Take derivative of each term with respect
to 𝑥 and use chain rule.
3𝑦2
𝑑𝑦
𝑑𝑥
+
𝑑𝑦
𝑑𝑥
− 6𝑥 = 2

13. Solution:
•Combine all terms with
𝑑𝑦
𝑑𝑥
on the left side.
3𝑦2
𝑑𝑦
𝑑𝑥
+
𝑑𝑦
𝑑𝑥
= 6𝑥 + 2
•Factor out
𝑑𝑦
𝑑𝑥
.
𝑑𝑦
𝑑𝑥
3𝑦2
+ 1 = 6𝑥 + 2

14. Solution:
•Divide both sides by 3𝑦2
+ 1 to isolate
𝑑𝑦
𝑑𝑥
.
𝑑𝑦
𝑑𝑥
=
6𝑥 + 2
3𝑦2 + 1

15. Example 2:
•Given the equation 𝑥2
𝑦 + 2𝑥𝑦2
= 𝑥4
+ 𝑦4
,
find
𝑑𝑦
𝑑𝑥
.

with respect to 𝑥.

18. Solution:
•The implicit differentiation can be used to find
the slope of the tangent line to the curve, given
that it is not a function, as in the next examples.

19. Example 3:
•Find the slope of the curve described by 𝑥2

20. Solution:
•The equation is that of unit circle. Thus, it is not
a function. We can, however, restrict to apply
implicit differentiation.
•Differentiate both sides with respect to 𝑥.

23. Example 4:
•Find the equation of the tangent line to the
curve 𝑥3
+ 𝑦3
= 9 at the point 1, 2 .

24. Solution:
•Sometimes, you can use 𝑦′
instead of
𝑑𝑦

.
Differentiating implicitly with respect to 𝑥,
•

26. Example 5:
• Consider the equation 𝑥2
+ 𝑦2
= 9.
a) Find 𝑦′
by implicit differentiation.
b) Derive two functions that can be defined
from the equation.
c) Find the derivative of each functions
obtained in (b) by explicit differentiation.
d) Verify that the result obtained in (a) agrees
with result in (c).

27. Solution:
•Differentiating implicitly, you find that
•2𝑥 + 2𝑦 𝑦′
= 0
•2𝑦 𝑦′
= −2𝑥
•𝑦′
= −

= −

𝑦

28. Solution:
•Solving the equation for 𝑦, you have 𝑦2
= 9 − 𝑥2
.
Thus,
•𝑦 = ± 9 − 𝑥2
•Let 𝑓 𝑥 = 9 − 𝑥2 and 𝑔 𝑥 = − 9 − 𝑥2.

29. Solution:
•Because 𝑓 𝑥 = 9 − 𝑥2, by using chain rule, you
now have
•𝑓′

•Similarly, you get 𝑔′
𝑥 =

9−𝑥2
.

30. Solution:
•For 𝑦 = 𝑓 𝑥 where 𝑓 𝑥 = 9 − 𝑥2, you have
from (c),
•𝑓′
𝑥 = −
𝑥
9−𝑥2
= −
𝑥
𝑦
•For 𝑦 = 𝑔 𝑥 where 𝑔 𝑥 = − 9 − 𝑥2, you have
from (c),
•𝑔′
𝑥 =
𝑥
9−𝑥2
=
𝑥
− 9−𝑥2
= −
𝑥
𝑦

31. Solution:
•The explicit differentiation for both functions
agrees with the answer in (a).

32. Big Idea:
•The implicit differentiation is performed on
functions that are difficult to express directly. As a
result, the differentiation process takes longer
than usual and also a bit confusing when not
properly carried out. This is the same for the
things you cannot express directly. They may imply
the right message, but the receiver might
interpret them incorrectly when properly stated.

33. DERIVATIVE RULES FOR
EXPONENTIAL AND
LOGARITHMIC FUNCTIONS
WITH BASE 𝒆

34. Derivative Rules for exponential and Logarithmic
Functions with Base 𝒆
•You probably have now mastered how to
differentiate algebraic functions based on the
examples and exercises in the previous module.
Not all functions, however, are algebraic in form,
so you cannot apply the techniques for
differentiation right away. In the case of
exponential and logarithmic functions, they also
have a set of rules that you must follows in
finding the derivatives.

35. Derivative Rules for exponential and Logarithmic
Functions with Base 𝒆
• Among all the exponential functions of the form 𝑦 = 𝑎𝑥
,
natural exponential function is of great importance in
terms of differentiation. Recall that the natural
exponential function is written as 𝑦 = 𝑒𝑥
, where 𝑒 is the
Euler number, an irrational number equivalent
to 2.718281828 …. The most important thing about the
natural exponential function is that its derivative is
itself. Hence,
𝑑
𝑑𝑥
𝑒𝑥
= 𝑒𝑥
. To prove this, examine the
value of 𝑒 once again. You may want to verify these
values using your calculator.

37. Derivative Rules for exponential and Logarithmic
Functions with Base 𝒆
•From table 12.1, the value of
(1 + 𝑥)
1
𝑥 approaches the
number 𝑒 as 𝑥 approaches 0. Thus,
lim
𝑥→0
(1 + 𝑥)
1
𝑥= 𝑒. This implies that as 𝑥 becomes
sufficiently small, 𝑒 = (1 + 𝑥)
1
𝑥 or 𝑒𝑥
= 1 + 𝑥 .
Now, suppose 𝑓 𝑥 = 𝑒𝑥
. Then,

42. Solution:

43. •Now that you know the derivative of the natural
exponential function, you can now derive the rule
for the derivative of its inverse, which is the
natural logarithmic function. The derivative of the
natural logarithmic function may be derived by
using implicit differentiation. Suppose that 𝑦 =
ln 𝑥.

function expressed using a base other than the

66. DERIVATIVE RULES FOR
TRIGONOMETRIC
FUNCTIONS

67. Derivative Rules for Trigonometric Functions
•You will deepen your understanding of
trigonometric functions as you explore their
derivatives. The trigonometric functions have
many useful applications in several fields such
as physics, astronomy, and biological sciences.
Needed in the formulation of the rule for the
derivatives of the six trigonometric functions are
the two important trigonometric limits:
lim
𝑥→0
sin 𝑥
𝑥
= 1 and lim
𝑥→0
1−cos 𝑥
𝑥
= 0.

68. Derivative Rules for Trigonometric Functions
•The derivations of the differentiation formulas
for trigonometric functions are based on these
two limits. To start, let us derive the formula
for
𝑑
𝑑𝑥
sin 𝑥 as follows.
•By the definition of the derivative,
𝑑
𝑑𝑥
sin 𝑥 = lim

sin 𝑥 + ℎ − sin 𝑥

•Using the sum identity for sine, you have sin 𝑥 + ℎ =
sin 𝑥 cos ℎ + cos 𝑥 sin ℎ. Then,

91. Example 7:
•In a certain city, the normal average
temperature (in degrees Fahrenheit) is modelled
by the function 𝑓 𝑡 = 49 − 18 cos
𝜋(𝑡−32)
180
,
where 𝑡 is the time in days so that 𝑡 =
1 corresponds to the first of January. What is the
expected date of the warmest day and the
coolest day?

92. Solution:
• To solve this problem, you need to find the value of 𝑡 such
that 𝑓′
𝑡 = 0.
𝑓′
𝑡 = 0 − 18

180
=

𝜋 𝑡 − 32

93. Solution:
• Then,
𝜋
10
sin
𝜋 𝑡 − 32
180
= 0
sin
𝜋 𝑡 − 32
180
= 0

94. Solution:
• In trigonometry, you have learned thatsin 𝜃 = 0 for all
multiples of 𝜋. Thus,
𝜋 𝑡 − 32
180
= 0
𝜋 𝑡 − 32 = 0
𝑡 − 32 = 0
𝑡 = 32

95. Solution:
𝜋 𝑡 − 32
180
= 𝜋
𝜋 𝑡 − 32 = 180𝜋
𝑡 − 32 = 180
𝑡 = 212

96. Solution:
𝜋 𝑡 − 32
180
= 2𝜋
𝜋 𝑡 − 32 = 360𝜋
𝑡 − 32 = 360
𝑡 = 392

97. Solution:
• For 𝜃 = 2𝜋 onward, 𝑡 is already out of the domain because a
year has only 365 days. Substituting n the original function,
if 𝑡 = 32,
𝑓 𝑡 = 49 − 18 cos
𝜋 32 − 32
180
= 49 − 18 cos 0 = 49 − 18 1
= 31℉
• If 𝑡 = 212,
𝑓 𝑡 = 49 − 18 cos
𝜋 212 − 32
180
= 49 − 18 cos 0
= 49 − 18 −1
= 67℉

98. Solution:
• Therefore, the coolest day will happen when 𝑡 = 32, i.e.,
the first of February, and the warmest day will be
when 𝑡 = 212, or 31st of July, provided that it is not leap
year.
