Differentiating Algebraic and Trigonometric Functions
Each of the following expressions can be thought of
as the formula for a single-variable real-valued function.
For each of these functions, write down an explicit formula for its derivative.
To check your result you can use software capable of symbolic differentiation,
e.g. WolframAlpha.
Each of the following equations involves an independent variable \(x\)
and a variable \(y\) dependent on \(x.\)
As exercise, for each of these equations,
take the derivative with respect to \(x\) implicitly.
Then if possible, express the derivative of \(y\)
explicitly as a function of \(x\).
You can use software capable of symbolic differentiation to check your formulas.
\(\displaystyle \tan\Bigl(\cos\bigl(\cos(xy)\bigr)\Bigr) = y \)
Now suppose each of the previous equations
involved an independent variable \(t\) (not explicitly present)
and variables \(x\) and \(y\) each dependent on \(t.\)
As exercise, for each of those equations equations,
take the derivative with respect to \(t\) implicitly.
