Frequently Asked Questions
Implicit differentiation is a technique to find the derivative of a function when it is not explicitly solved for one variable. It treats y as a function of x and differentiates both sides of the equation.
It numerically computes the partial derivatives ∂F/∂x and ∂F/∂y at a point using finite differences, then applies the formula dy/dx = - (∂F/∂x) / (∂F/∂y).
Yes, as long as the equation can be expressed as F(x,y)=0 and the function is differentiable. Enter the left-hand side of the equation (e.g., for x^2 + y^2 = 1, enter x^2 + y^2 - 1).
No, they are optional. If provided, the calculator evaluates the derivative at that point. If not, it computes a general derivative at a default point (1,1).
