Analytical Applications of Differentiation
When does an implicitly defined relation like fail the condition for being guaranteed as differentiable?
Anywhere that either sine or cosine functions have discontinuities or infinite slopes.
At every integer multiple of because sine and cosine values repeat periodically.
Only when either side of equation equates zero because sine inverse does not exist there.
Wherever would be undefined since it reflects slopes directly related here.
If the equation defines implicitly as a function of near , what is the second derivative at this point?
Uniquely determined by applying implicit differentiation twice and evaluating at .
Dependent on the value of , which cannot be evaluated at a specific point.
Does not exist because is not explicitly defined as a function of .
Equivalent to zero since has an inflection point at .
Which of the following is the correct notation for the second derivative of y with respect to x?
For an implicit function represented by , where c represents any constant term, if one were to increase c slightly while maintaining x fixed, what would happen to ?
The magnitude increases.
The derivative stays consistent since it depends on the relation between c and xy, rather than an isolated change in c.
The denominator decreases due to decreasing y-values, leading to a higher rate of change in x.
The numerator increases due to the logarithmic term, slightly raising .
What does the second derivative of an implicit function represent?
The area under the curve
The rate of change of the y-coordinate
The concavity of the curve
The rate of change of the slope
The implicit derivative of with respect to is:

To find for an implicit relation, we differentiate both sides of the equation with respect to:
t
y
z
x
When differentiating an implicit relation, the chain rule is applied to:
Explicit derivatives only
Implicit derivatives only
None of the above
Both implicit and explicit derivatives
When finding the derivative of an implicit function, what should you do with terms containing y'?
Treat them as constants
Differentiate them with respect to x
Replace them with y
Replace them with x
