The implicitdiff command can differentiate implicitly defined functions or expressions containing implicitly defined functions. It has three different calling sequences.


To implicitly differentiate dependent variables:


Examples.


To find a specified derivative of an expression containing implicitly defined functions:


Example.
Input:

implicitdiff(x*y,-2x^3+15x^2*y+11y^3-24y=0,y(x),x)

Output:

x3−5 x2 y+11 y3−8 y
x2+11 y2−8


To find all kth order derivatives of an expression involving implicitly defined functions:
