T-7 IMPLICIT FUNCTIONS :

If the variable x and y are connected by a relation of the form f(x, y) = 0 and it is not possible to express
y as a function of x in the form y = (x), then such functions are said to be implicit functions.
For example,
(i) x2 + xy + y3 = 1 (ii) x + y + sin (xy) = 1 (iii) xy + yx = 1
2 2
y
(iv) 16x  16x  y  1

DERIVATIVE OF IMPLICIT FUNCTION :

(i) In order to find dy/dx, in the case of implicit functions, we differentiate each term w.r.t. x regarding
y as a functions of x & then collect terms in dy/dx together on one side to finally find dy/dx.
(ii) Corresponding to every curve represented by an implicit equation, there exist one or more explicit
functions representing that equation. It can be shown that dy dx at any point on the curve remains the
same whether the process of differentiation is done explictly or implicitly.
