Implicit Differentiation Calculator

Differentiate implicit equations and find dy/dx for curves defined by relations like x² + y² = r²

Examples: x^2 + y^2 (circle), xy (hyperbola), x^3 + y^3 - 3xy

Theory & Formula

What is Implicit Differentiation?

Implicit differentiation is a technique used to find derivatives of equations where y is not explicitly solved for. Instead of y = f(x), we have F(x,y) = 0.

Method

1. Differentiate both sides with respect to x

2. Treat y as a function of x and apply chain rule: d/dx[y^n] = n·y^(n-1)·dy/dx

3. Collect all dy/dx terms on one side

4. Solve for dy/dx

Find dy/dx for the circle x² + y² = 25:

\(x^2 + y^2 = 25\)\(\frac{d}{dx}(x^2) + \frac{d}{dx}(y^2) = \frac{d}{dx}(25)\)\(2x + 2y\frac{dy}{dx} = 0\)\(\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{x}{y}\)

[calculus.implicitDifferentiation.theory.chainRule]

When differentiating terms with y, remember that y is a function of x, so you must apply the chain rule:

\(\frac{d}{dx}(y^n) = ny^{n-1}\frac{dy}{dx}\)
