LT4.5 - I can differentiate parametrics (both first
and second derivatives) and understand the
difference between dy/dx, dy/dt and dx/dt.
(p. 160-168)
Yesterday: First derivative of a Parametric function
dy dy/dt y'(t)
= = "Parametric chain rule"
dx dx/dt x'(t)
Today: Second derivative of a Parametric function
September 22, 2021
Second derivative of a Parametric function
dy dy/dt y'(t)
= =
dx dx/dt x'(t)
d 2y d
=
dx2 dx
This is a job for the quotient rule and the
chain rule (why??)
September 22, 2021
Using yesterday's example:
x'(t) = 3t2 y'(t) = 2e2t
dy/dx =

Implicit Differentiation (differentiating non-functions)
LT4.6: I can find the derivatives of non-functions
using Implicit differentiation and find vertical and
horizontal tangent lines.
September 22, 2021
Opener: The unit circle!
Predict the slope of the tangent line to the unit circle
when x2 + y2 = 1
Brainstorm 3 unique different ways to find the
actual slope at that point.
September 22, 2021
4 corners!
September 22, 2021
1. Solve for y, find the derivative normally
2. Express the circle parametrically and use
the parametric chain rule
3. Differentiate "implicitly" (d/dx both sides
right off the bat)
September 22, 2021
Brainstorm: Find the derivative of x2 + y2 = 1
when three different ways
a) Isolate y and take b) Parametric chain
the derivative as rule
normal
c) Take d/dx of both
sides without
isolating (don't
forget chain rule!)
September 22, 2021
Method 1:
write a function for the top
part of the circle.
take the derivative.
remember the chain rule!
find the slope:
September 22, 2021
Method 2: x = cos(t) y = sin(t)
dy dy/dt y'(t)
= =
dx dx/dt x'(t)
dy/dx = cos(t) / -sin(t) = - cot(t)
At that x value, t =pi/6
-cot(pi/6) = -root 3 !!
September 22, 2021
Method 3: Implicit Differentiation:
d/dx both sides
solve for y' and plug in!
Note: the derivative rule has
both x and y in the answer!
(this makes sense because it
is a non-function)
September 22, 2021
According to this slope rule, when should the
unit circle have horizontal tangent lines?
When should it have vertical tangent lines?
September 22, 2021
Implicit Differentiation:
a method of finding dy/dx for a relation without
actually isolating y.
Example: Find dy/dx given the relation
4x - 8x2y6 + 3y = 21
September 22, 2021
Solution: 4x - 8x2y6 + 3y = 21
take derivative (remember the product rule!)
September 22, 2021
Ways that we can extend this question:
1. 2nd derivative
2. vertical,horizontal tangent lines
3. d/dx of the inverse
September 22, 2021
Note: It is "implied" that y is a function of x even
though it is very difficult (or even impossible) to
actually isolate y in the original problem.
