Chapter 2: Differentiation
Section 2.5: Implicit Differentiation
Example 2.5.1
Extract y+x=9−x2 from x2+y2=9, and show that Fx,y+x=0 is an identity. Obtain y+/x from this explicit representation.
Solution
Solve Fx,y=0 for y+x
Type the equation of the circle in the form Fx,y=0 and press the Enter key.

The Context Menu option "Label" is used to select "Label Reference" so that the item referenced by the equation label is visible, not just the equation label.
Differentiate y+x
Expression palette: Differentiation operator Apply to y+x, referenced by its equation label.
