The main thing to remember with implicit differentiation is to differentiate each thing as you see it. Don't worry about rearranging the equation until you have differentiated everything first. Say you...

Let log a be some number A and log b be some number B

now the natural log of something is the equivalent of saying a=e^A and b = e^B

So a*b = e^A * e^B which by rules of ind...

Firstly, in order to solve this problem we would need to differentiate f(x) to get f'(x).

To differentiate this we would use the quotient rule. The quotient rule is that:

dy...
