Question:

Suppose that {eq}z {/eq} is implicitly defined by the equation: {eq}\displaystyle y z^2 + x^2 \ln y = \tan z {/eq}. Find {eq}\dfrac {\partial z}{\partial x} {/eq} and {eq}\displaystyle \dfrac {\partial z} {\partial y} {/eq}.

Implicit Differentiation of the Function {eq}F(x,y,z) {/eq}:

If we have a function {eq}F(x,y,z) {/eq}, we can calculate {eq}\dfrac{\partial z}{\partial x} {/eq} and {eq}\dfrac{\partial z}{\partial y} {/eq} using the following formulas:

{eq}\dfrac{\partial z}{\partial x} = -\dfrac{F_{x}(x,y,z)}{F_{z}(x,y,z)} {/eq} and {eq}\dfrac{\partial z}{\partial y} = -\dfrac{F_{y}(x,y,z)}{F_{z}(x,y,z)}. {/eq}

The above formulas emphasize the need to derive implicitly to calculate the request.
