Answer: An implicit function is a function, written in terms of both dependent and independent variables, like y-3x2+2x+5 = 0. Whereas an explicit function is a function which is represented in terms of an independent variable.
Step-by-step explanation: To find the implicit derivative,
Differentiate both sides of f(x, y) = 0 with respect to x.
Apply usual derivative formulas to differentiate the x terms.
Apply usual derivative formulas to differentiate the y terms along with multiplying the derivative by dy/dx.
Solve the resultant equation for dy/dx (by isolating dy/dx).
