Given the equation , which method is most efficient for finding at the point where ?
Solving for first and then differentiating, as this method can be more complex due to the transcendental nature of the equation.
Graphical analysis, since it provides a visual approach but does not easily yield an exact numerical derivative.
Implicit differentiation, because it allows the calculation of directly within the given relationship between and .
Numerical approximation methods such as Newton's Method, while useful in some cases, are less direct than implicit differentiation for this problem.
