ps.

implicit differentiation = 隱微分 ...(純粹補充，看不懂沒關係)

例如：f(x,y)=x2+y2=C

 

(d/dx)f(x,y)

=> (d/dx)[x2+y2]=0

=> dx2/dx+(dy2/dy)(dy/dx)=0 

=> 2x+2y(dy/dx)=0

=> dy/dx=-x/y

 

explicit differentiation則是將函數寫成顯函數，再來作微分運算。

例如：x2+y2=C => y=±√(C-x2)

          

dy/dx=±(1/2)(C-x2)-1/2(-2x)  

=±(-x)/√(C-x2)

如果將±√(C-x2)以y取代-->  dy/dx=-x/y

與implicit differentiation結果相同。
