One way to do this is to choose a point (x; y) which satisfies the original relation (in other words, a point on the curve defined by the relation), and to take an implicit function h(x) for which y = h(x) (that is, an implicit function for which (x; y) is on the graph of that function).
Implicit Functions. 11.1 Partial derivatives. To express the fact that z is a function of the two independent variables x and y we write. z = z(x, y). If variable y is fixed, then z becomes a function of x only, and if variable x is fixed, then z becomes a function of y only.
1 The Implicit Function Theorem. Suppose that (a; b) is a point on the curve F(x; y) = 0 where and suppose that this equation can be solved for y as a function of x for all (x; y) sufficiently near (a; b). Then this part of the curve is the graph of a function y = '(x) on some interval jx aj < h with '(a) = b. If '0(x) exists, we can compute it ...
1.1 Examples of Implicit Functions. A function f : D →m is usually defined by giving some explicit formula to calculate f(x) ∈m for each x ∈ D ⊂n. Functions can also be defined implicitly by a system of equations. where F : D1 × D2 →m is defined on some domain D1 × D2 ⊂n ×m.
Implicit Functions and Their Derivatives. When y is written as a function of (x1, . . . , xm), y = f(x1, . . . , xm) we say that y is an explicit function of (x1, . . . , xm). Things are different when y and (x1, . . . , xm) are combined in a single function so that f(x1, . . . , xm, y) = 0. (15.0.1)
The implicit function theorem tells us that whenever we can solve the approx imating linear equation (1.9) for y as a function of x, then the original equation (1.8) defines y implicitly as a function of x.
The implicit function theorem gives conditions under which it is possible to solve for x as a function of p in the neighborhood of a known solution ( ̄x, ̄p). There are actually many implicit function theorems. If you make stronger assumptions, you can derive stronger conclusions.
