Motivation (1 of 2) Think of y as a function y(x) then x 2 + y 2 = 1 x 2 + (y(x)) 2 = 1 (y(x)) 2 = 1 x 2 y(x) = 1 x 2 or y(x) = 1 x 2. The one equation efines two implicit functions of x.
Motivation (2 of 2) if y 0. [ x 2 + y 2] = x x [1] [ x 2 + (y(x)) 2] = 0 x 2x + 2y(x) y x 2y y x y x = 0 = 2x = x y
Implicit Differentiation The process of ifferentiating both sies of an equation is known as implicit ifferentiation. When we encounter a function of y, where y is implicitly a function of x, we use the following erivative formula (the Chain Rule): x [g(y)] = g (y) y x

Example Fin the horizontal an vertical tangents to the graph of the equation xy 2 2y = 2.
Example Fin the horizontal an vertical tangents to the graph of the equation xy 2 2y = 2. First we must fin y : [ ] xy 2 2y x = x [2] y 2 + 2xy y 2y = 0 y 2 + 2(xy 1)y = 0 y = y 2 2(1 xy)
Tangents 2 = xy 2 2y y = y 2 2(1 xy) Tangent lines are horizontal when y = 0 which implies y = 0. However, when y = 0 the first equation cannot be satisfie. Thus there are no points on the curve where the tangent line is horizontal.
Tangents 2 = xy 2 2y y = y 2 2(1 xy) Tangent lines are horizontal when y = 0 which implies y = 0. However, when y = 0 the first equation cannot be satisfie. Thus there are no points on the curve where the tangent line is horizontal. Tangent lines are vertical when y is unefine. This implies xy = 1 or equivalently x = 1/y. Substituting this into the first equation yiels 2 = y 2y = y = (x, y) = ( 1/2, 2).
