implicit

Examples of implicit in the following topics:

• Implicit Differentiation

  • Implicit differentiation makes use of the chain rule to differentiate implicitly defined functions.
  • For most implicit functions, there is no formula which defines them explicitly.
  • Implicit differentiation makes use of the chain rule to differentiate implicitly defined functions.
  • An implicit function doesn't tell you exactly what $y$ is but still relates $y$ to $x$.
  • The path of a point on a circle can only be expressed as an implicit function.

• Differentials

  • Use implicit differentiation to find the derivatives of functions that are not explicitly functions of $x$
