The Implicit differentiation exercise appears under the Differential calculus Math Mission on Khan Academy. This exercise solves derivatives in equation form that have multiple variables.

## Types of Problems Edit

There are three types of problems in this exercise:

1. Find the derivative of the function: The student is asked to find the derivative of a function that has multiple variables.
2. Find the rate in which values are changing: The student is asked to find the rate of change of two variables from the function.
3. Find the slope of the tangent: The student is asked to find the slope of the tangent line at a particular point.

## Strategies Edit

Knowledge basic derivative concepts are encouraged to ensure success on this exercise.

1. The equation of a unit circle is and it's derivative is $x^2+y^2=1$ and it's derivative is $-x/y$
2. The derivative of is $xsqrt(y)=1$ is $-2x^{-3}$
3. The derivative of is $e^{xy^2}=x-y$ is $\frac{1-y^2e^{xy^2}}{2xye^{xy^2}+1}$
